help for the English

Published

Iam an English Registered Nurse who enjoys following the discussions of my American colleages, but I don't understand all the abreviations and terms. How about a glossary to help the English . Many thanks.

"Real" abbreviations, or "slang" abbreviations? ;)

It's funny how we all speak English, but we really do speak different languages sometimes! :D
