Thanks, John! Yes, I do use Linux for about that long, yet I needed your
kind help here. It sort of reminds me about one person I know: native
English speaker, who was born in US, graduated high school will pretty
good grades. And she hadn't any idea what "SUV" stands for... (Sports
Utility Vehicle I definitely should add here to be consistent myself). She
new what that SUV thing looks like. And if you give _me_ the long list
like: ABC, NFL, NHL, CBS, BCC, DMZ,..., then of those abbr. which I have
heard and recognize I will only be able to expand into what they stand
only half of them. Which I feel no shame about. We do save time using
them. But: if you want me to understand you, put it the way I don't have
to decipher anything.

Thanks again for your help!

Valeri
