What the Acronyms Mean?

language and acronyms of that business. Below are some that you will find used in the OBC.
This started out with a post in the Owner's Business Center (OBC) under "HOW-TO"
Questions and Answers. Thought I would repost them as a resource page. Go here to read the whole post:
