i was just saying that most people don't even understand these Initials 
completely.
the original use of Initials was such that if someone is writing a technical 
or a scientific report and he doesn't want to repeat terms he cites the 
object  the first time completely  then he adds a conventional shortcut.
he then referes to these initials further in the report to gain time and Ink.

the probem is that this behaviour has been extended to all technical 
literature for time and costs reason, but nobody really likes or understands 
them

as an example could you now tell me on the flight the meanings of these 
Initials ? without having any doc at hand .

IDE =
SATA =
SDRAM =

HD = hard disk or hard drive ?

ambiguous ! ambiguous !
