Learning a new language

Since I started couponing, I have discovered a whole new language. The language of couponing.It only took a few moments of reading posts on Hot Coupon World for me to get totally lost and confused. The more I tried, the more lost I got. Then I decided to see if there was a guide to this new language. Sure enough, there is a section for "newbies" and how to read this new language. I now have a copy of this list on my desktop so if I get stumped, I can refer to it. These abbreviations are widely used on most of the couponing websites. So they should help no matter which forum you read.
