Is there an AH glossary?

[JoanneMerriam]

I'm figuring out from context what a lot of the acronyms used here are, but some are still puzzling me. Is there a glossary?

ACW: american civil war
ATL= Alternate timeline
ITTL= in the timeline
IOTL= in Otl

Thanks! I gathered POD is Point Of Departure? What's ISOT?

ISOT= Island in the sea of time, it refers to sending a something back in time.
Welcome to the board Joanne

I prefer to think about it as Point of divergence, but who cares?

If you pop into the ASBs (Alien Space Bats) forum you will find a sub-forum for Mosaic Earth, together with acronyms such as SME and DME which sound great but mean something like Second Mosaic Earth and Different Mosaic Earth. I don't know what they're calling the new one - maybe FME or NME (Fourth or New) ?

A loit of discussions use the usual net acronyms, such as IIRC (If I Recall Correctly) and there is a group of people who for some odd reason write Xian instead of Christian (I used to think this was some strange Chinese sect)

Best Regards and Welcome

Xian is the sect founded by Hung(sp?)
