I see alot of times in threads the abbreviation "DH" and others like "DD" what does it stand for? Is there a sticky on the site that explains the lingo?

'D' stands for 'Darling'. So DH stands for darling husband. DD-darling daughter. Etc. Easier to abbreviate.

I don't think the abbreviations are site specific.

I thought D was Dear, but pretty much same thing.

I don't think the abbreviations are site specific. .... Granted. I just haven't seen those abbreviations on any other forum that I frequent. I felt like something was missing when I'm reading posts and I felt like I didn't fully comprehend what I had just read.

I felt like something was missing when I'm reading posts and I felt like I didn't fully comprehend what I had just read. I am in the same position when it comes to understanding. For me the good thing is I frequently don't care when someone posts about their 2CTROTMS (second cousin twice removed on their mother's side). And the few times I had a desire to understand, I just asked what an abbreviation meant. Someone has always answered.

Thought on all those abbreviations: I use three means to post. I am usually on my tablet (sitting at home in my recliner). At other times I am at my desktop at work. Occasionally I am on my phone (waiting on my wife while she is shopping). I bet someone using a word count of my posts would be able to report which devices I used for each posting with 96.84% accuracy.
