Most of these acronyms I've seen before, some of them took me a while to figure out, and others I've seen queries about in the CB. This is the list I curently have on my home node where I will be adding to it as I find and learn more.
There are some PM-Specific acronyms collected by grinder. Also see the Acronym Finder web site.
