Acronym help for new users

[BeeJoyful]

Hi Postcrossers!

I sometimes have difficulty understanding all the different acronyms that are used in the forum.

For those of you who are more familiar with the lingo, can you share what are some of the common acronyms you use. I hope to get up to speed faster this way.

Thanks,
BeeJoyful

Please have a look here:

Postal-related dictionary and abbreviations (wiki)

I think one good use for wikis would be a dictionary of postal terms and abbreviation list of sorts, so I’ll start one here. Feel free to edit this post to add your terms by clicking the EDIT button at the bottom of the post. Ad card: (Short for: Advertising Card) A postcard featuring advertisement to a product or service. Sometimes these are given away for free.
