Hey, that's spanish for "sun", right?

Yea.. and ROTFL?

Tag.. I just want you to know.. that I for one appreciate your efforts to update this thread for my benifit and all on the forum.

It has not been easy for me to "expose" my ignorance at the risk or ridicule to ask for such a request. But I believed it was a real need, so I did so.

I also appreciate that this post has been pinned. I do still have to be creative to access it here on the forum without referring to my own personal notes.

When reading a thread and fumbling across a term that is questionable, I have found it is difficult to bounce to this thread for reference without losing the thread I am reading?.. Sometimes using the back button suffices.

I notice someone has placed the "2006 Prius Info" at the top so it can be accessed from literally any page your on!... If you guys ever deem this thread that valuable, that would be a nice consideration!... if not, I can manage ok the way it is.

I just didnt' know if others were having that same deliema or not?

After all, a tool is only as useful, as it is accessible.

Re making the Glossary accessible from any page, similar to "2006 Prius Info", I believe only Danny could do that (i.e. it would take Admin privileges).

FWIW, here's a link to a pretty comprehensive internet acronyms glossary:

Nice!... we can just provide this link, so we don't have to duplicate.
I know our chart was originally "only" for hybrid related acronymns and has evolved to more due to need..... although it would be nice to have them all in one basket, there are so many more non-hybrid/technical related ones that its simplier to have two charts... one for hybrid, the other for general.

Easier for us to maintain too... thanks.

TCE - Total Carbon Emissions

PID - Purposely Ignorant Driver (aka DDC Driver Doesn't Care) (ok, I made these last two up)
