Thanks: added. Cheers,
This is a great list for anyone not being familiar with these terms, Maybe the list could be added as a sticky in the General forum where it could be added-to easily??
Done.
It would help if the first post included the total list. If JP doesn't mind, I'll edit it.

I don't mind, go for it! I'm just pleased that this thread has proven useful to so many here.
Stickies can only be done by mods.

Thanks. I'll update it shortly.
The first post has been updated with the latest list (and I added a number of additional ones as well). I'll try to keep the list updated as people add more.
