If members of this list will e-mail me a list of commonly used initials
that stand for organizations or terms (I know there is a word for this,
but I can't think of it) I will make a list for those of us who can't
keep it all straight and post it.
Examples: PMA-Photo Marketing Association
TIB-The Image Bank
PPA-Professional Photographers of America
RC-Resin Coated
FB-Fiber Based. . .the list goes on and on.
Some examples I read just this morning that I don't know the meaning of,
but wish I did:
KPX
APCI. . .this list is even longer for me, so I'll quit here.
(There is always the possibility I am the only one who is confused. In
this case, I would appreciate this information for my own use.)
Thank you,
Marilyn Dalrymple
