I guess I can accept that acronym, but "Wut da" isn't exactly a good means of getting anyone to respond to your post. I hear "Wut da", and I'd like to stick a probe in your ear, and I don't mean gently.
Wut da POCO mean?

To be honest.....I only gave the "Wut da" a meaning after you flew off your rocker:grin:
It wasn't meant to be the hip hop/ebonic version, more like the guys off of that Knoxville movie the Ringer:grin:.
Whatever you do, if my joking statement pissed you off:roll:... don't take it out on that horse
:grin:

You guys do know it means "what does," right?
It's kinda like the Fugawie indians.

Somebody posted SWAG (Scientific Wild Arse Guess) one time on this forum, I think that should make the abbreviation list.

Since this forum is so technical, should't it be "PoCo" insteal of "POCO"?
Just asking. :smile:

I have seen it written: POCO, PoCo, Poco, and poco, and po-co. A rose by any other name. :smile:

Not unless you think there is a good reason for capitalizing "power" or "company". So, "poco" for power company, and "POCO" for POWER COMPANY? Probably came about more from saying "po-co" instead of "power company"? Only the Shadow knows. Of course that is not necessarily evil...though some may think the power companies are evil...wonder what's for lunch...
I'm from UK, a Brit, as no doubt some of you already know.
My sweet wife is a Southern Belle from GA.
Most of the commonly used abbreviations used on many forums apply across the board and across nations and posters posting in the English language. And we get along perfectly fine with the usual abbreviations.
When it comes to technical terms here, many used are local (in a global context) and sometimes product specific. Like Romex. And cable sizes. And types.
Sure, it is a US forum and others just need to accept that.

"Ah, Grasshopper, you have much to learn."
Look in the bottom-right corner of each post. You'll see three buttons* that explain themselves when you hover over them for a second. Click on the center button, the 'multi-quote' button, in each post you wish to quote in whole or in part.
You can click on them in whatever order you want the quoted snippets to appear. If for some reason, you want to quote post 35 before post 14, just click on them in that order. Bob hadn't noticed it was added with the last forum software upgrade.
* Added: Note that your own posts have four button during the editable period.

No, he had said:
Note that he said "quote," not "question."
You can even use the little blue arrow next to a quotee's name in the blue box, which takes you back to the original quoted post (another added feature), to jump around while multi-quoting.

POwer COmpany and is favored as such by electricians since it is so nice - and true - to say: that POCO is LOCO!
