Title: Words
Post by: silmartap on March 11, 2016, 06:38:01 am

Could it be possible to create a lexicon (LEDAero mentioned this before some months ago) here little by little by experts? A page or three which contains clarifications of some words, acronyms and formulas of electronic world for beginners? I bet it won't be useless if made.

Indeed. I have found Wikipedia to be quite handy for either outright defining and explaining words phrases and concepts, or at least providing a context to go searching for the explanation.  Even rather advanced and complex things are generally explained well. And they have one of the better ways of parsing out mystery acronyms.
