[NTLK] AA battery trays

[William James]

Ahhhhh Dennis, the  answer is, all of the above! But shouldn't we have a base? I'm all for English, German, Russian, French, etc......, just give me a base that everyone can understand. Give me a base where all the acronyms or initializations, do not exist and we can all communicate on the same level. Sadly, people take it for granted that people have communicated by acronyms for years, that is not the case. They have come about in the last fifteen years. Yes there were acronyms before, but (most people)  only communicated by these  in limited military circles or niche online communities.

Ah, but then the next question becomes WHICH version of English? Limiting
the list to the MAJOR versions in alphabetical order: American (U.S.)?
Australian? British? Canadian? New Zealand? And that doesn't even take into
account the most prevalent word here is not English but Canadian French:
POUTINE!  ;-)

Sincerely,
Dennis B. Swaney
