CIC Acronyms - Print them off.
 

Hi everyone,
Someone else may have done this before, I've seen bits and pieces but as I've had problems in the past on this forum with 'what the hell does that mean!' scenarios I've looked and found this lot of acronyms on another forum site.

Hope they help people, especially for the newbies (like me sort of).
Best print them off otherwise they'll just get lost in the plethora of threads...

Thanks Iaiank, the rest of you do a copy/paste into your favourite word processor/notepad and make the necessary changes, and do it now please. I'll be very cross if you get them wrong in your exam. :D
