Question Terminology clarification.

Often times with new terminology, I can decypher what is being discussed.

Example: RC, RE, OME, discos. etc.

But I keep coming across one that kinda has me stumped.

Soft 8's

Someone please clarify?

Maybe we need a sticky for new users with all the acronyms we use. May have to look into it.

Kyle has one in a sticky but some of the stuff like soft 8s are not there and some of the stuff like MAT and IAC are missing too IIRC.

Just looked at it. We might see if Kyle can insert these things we are coming up with. His list is alphabetic and to add in a reply will just make ppl have to search harder for the accronym they need.

What we could do is add a reply with something to be added then Kyle can add it and remove the reply...that way additions to that list would be in a central place for him to see them..

We should contact him first to see how he wants to handle these additions to his list.
