@hacker, clo, pdavit: thanks for your great on topic replies!

No prob!

If you don't like a bit of friendliness then you're certainly the type of person that likes manuals and help files over forums!

I do like a bit of friendliness, and I do like to be helped and to help others over forums. But I don't think it's good that more replies to a question are offtopic than ontopic. It should be good for avoiding offtopic discussions if private messaging is enabled indeed, but when commenting on the offtopics I didn't realize it's disabled on this forum. Sorry for that.

Well, you answered Fabio's question to his satisfaction and there was nothing to add to it.

I don't like acronyms.

You certainly do!!

On your first post in this thread you did use two actually!

Ch -> Christian
TC -> Total Commander

Do you know the difference between Acronyms and Abbrevations?

In an Acronym you use the first letters of each word in an expression to abbreviate this expression.

• AFAIK - As Far As I Know

TC and Ch are no Akronyms but Abbrevations.

You should not tell anyone what he does like because to decide that belongs to him - in my honestly opinion.

There's none!

Acronym is sourced from the Greek word that denotes an Abbreviation. Now, if the English stole the word and changed its meaning that's a whole new issue for discussion!


> TC and Ch are no Akronyms but Abbrevations.

The first one is (TC), the second is not (Ch). Sorry my mistake!


> You should not tell anyone what he does like because to decide that belongs to him - in my honestly opinion.

True! Sorry if I gave that impression. That wasn't my intension. I just forgotten to add some smiling faces after my comment and the meaning may have sounded a bit rude. That's a typical problem with discussions purely in the text form; you don't get to observe someone's facial expressions.
