[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2376157, member: 41816"] using the PWD abbreviation on this forum, which is filled with many, many newbies, would lead to numerous queries of ‘what does PWD mean?’ It is also an abbreviation which I prefer to avoid, in any circumstances, because, to my mind, it comes across as cliquey and exclusive (exclusive in the sense that one has to be ‘in the know’ in order to understand the term, and therefore excludes those who are not in the club’). I do not think it is in the interests of anyone, certainly not diabetics, and certainly not here on this forum, to place themselves in an exclusive clique. Although, of course, the term comes up, and the explanations have to be made... using more keystrokes ;) [/QUOTE]
