What are all these abbreviations???
      #203213 - 02/23/07 03:41 PM

I am new to these forums having just signed up the other day. I'm going through my own divorce and trying to learn about the process and what to expect. Anyway these abbreviations that everyone uses is making it hard to follow along. Is there a place where all of these are defined or can someone explain?
Thanks,

GoogleDad,

My FAVORITE of your latin sayings so far:

Verveces tui similes pro ientaculo mihi appositi sunt
for lunch and dinner, too!

Thanks for the giggle...

Just remember that some can be the same, but mean different things in the context of the post.
