Abbreviations Guide - Remake
Thread Helper(s): Shazi and Gumshoe
Since Uzumi has been inactive for a long time and this guide hadn't been updated in over 2 years on the last thread, I am taking it over and updating it. This guide will function the same as the previous, the sections in the same order for the most part (other moved to the end, it made more sense) but if you feel there is a section missing that should be added please feel free to privately message me the suggestion so as not to spam the thread. Posts to the thread should be abbreviations that need added, questions on what an abbreviation means or suggestions for definition updates where needed. Thank you!Game(s) related abbr.
