[QUOTE="brakel, post: 72605, member: 416"] I thought that the OP's question of what TPA is was interesting. Sometimes we throw acronyms and initializations around without thinking about it. It is clear to me everyday because I have a brain fog when it comes to acronyms and initializations. When I see NGG, CC, CV, CP, etc, I just see a jumble of letters but can't think what table it is. Some of them I've seen now for so long that I do know the table. When I see TotAN I now know its that table with the blue genie but my brain refuses to draw a line from the initials that I read to the name that I know. Its not an intelligence thing. I have an IQ in the genius range but its like I have a specific brainagraphical handicap. I also can't see those Captcha things that you sometimes have to type in to join a forum or comment on a web page to prove that you are not a bot. I have to give those to my wife to fill in or hit the speaker icon to have it say the Captcha. After I figured out what TPA is I would get tripped up by some posters who would refer to The Pinball Arcade as PBA and all I could ever think of was "Professional Bowling Association"? One day I told this to my daughter and she said "Pin Ball Arcade, Dad!" Ohhhhhh! Nice to know she didn't inherit my brainagraphical handicap! :D [/QUOTE]
