Re: Abbreviations
I know some of us use cellphones to post on the Forum. That make it harder to type out all the words. Much easier to use abbreviations.

I always only use my cell phone to post on here, and never have any problems typing in long words...
For example:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Re: Abbreviations
And it may be that we are posting in between our very busy day. I don't think it's unreasonable to post a short version of genetic terms when your limited on time.
Elana why do you post lol instead of "laughing out loud" then?

I've indeed understood I have to learn acronyms for things that are repetitive or require quick response.
For example a teenager would need a quick response to a gaming question to a teammate in the middle of battle so his pixels don't die.
Ex. Yo man hit DP, and OL Healer for the ROFLSTOMP FTW! WOOT!
If you OOM then stack buffs and DE the healer with DK on LD. Take down tank when Resto OOMs with CD's on blast.
**chuckle** PS don't ask me how I know these acronyms. I will deny deny deny.

I Love Finches, Especially Strawberries.
I keep my Strawberry pair in a non-flight cage due to space constraints. If I have my way, I'll go for a flight cage or keep a hundred finches in a huge aviary.

Re: Abbreviations
I believe that if you are interested enough in birds, you will learn to understand the lingo. I have not had Gouldians for long, and feel privileged that someone like Debbie (and others) will take the time and effort to clarify, correct or explain something to me. I am the indebted one and is just thankful for the advice and if I have to for instance spend a moment or two to work out exactly what was mentioned, I am quite happy to do so. Knowledge is a very most precious commodity and it is fantastic that so many experts on this forum are so willing to share their knowledge and experience.

Regarding....
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
I actually, had to look it up to know how to spell it
then got it wrong three times on here, trying to type it down.
As to my typing....u-hemmmm, we won't go there. Let's just say, that I don't type with the speed of summer lightning (like the youngsters now days).

Hahaha! All my son's friends have had their butts kicked by me at one time or another on World of Warcraft.
They are still scared of my Ogre Huntress.
Conversation in the house was interesting sometimes when they'd all be gaming online together.
"Dude get your Druid Up here....we've been waiting forever"
" I can't.....your MOM keeps killing my toon before I can get to the dungeon entrance"
Great therapy for dealing with teenagers. ;) Nice stress relief

It very time consuming, but its really fun. I haven't played for about a year now. Played for 8 years. You can check it out online. They have videos of gameplay all over youtube too.

Dave, I'm glad you started this thread. Being new to finches I get lost in the lingo easily. It makes my head hurt.
