If you ever see that something is missing or incorrect in this Carrd, message me on Twitter and I'll fix or update it! My handle is I hope this helps! I'd also like to mention that the lists aren't in any specific order, so if they seem a little confusing for some reason that may be why. There are lists of acronyms used for phrases, books, and terms people on stan twt use. This Carrd is here to help! This is a living document, and so it'll be updated (hopefully on a regular basis) to make sure everyone understands what others are talking about. Hi!
