jazzyfizzle Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Not sure if you got the CLE, but I have read it to mean Christian Light Education :001_smile: I am looking around, what is the meaning of this Lurk smilie eating popcorn when posted alone? Does that mean to mark that you don't have a written response but wanted to mark that you read the thread? :lurk5: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauracolumbus Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Debbie, your site is wonderful. But I need help w/DVT. It's used in the context of Lial's BCM (Basic College Math).

wtmviolet Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Debbie, your site is wonderful. But I need help w/DVT. It's used in the context of Lial's BCM (Basic College Math). I'm assuming it's something like digital video teacher???? Thanks, Laura Thank you for the compliment! I hope that you have found the abbreviations list useful. Googling around, DVT in connection with Lial seems to be "Digital Video Tutor". However, this term does not seem to be used on http://www.lialalgebra.com. Instead, that site seems to use "Interactive Math". I don't know if that's just a change in terminology (e.g. Lial used to use "DVT") or if it is two different things. I'll put Digital Video Tutor on my page for now ... let me know if you find something else. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtmviolet Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 what is aspie and autie? is it autism and aspergers? Based on googling, I think that you have figured them out correctly. (Just fyi, in case you are wondering why I haven't added these to my abbreviations page, I avoid including abbreviations that can be found in general internet dictionaries.)

branycbur Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) What is LHTH? And ALFG? Edited March 11, 2010 by branycbur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtmviolet Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 What is LHTH? And ALFG? LHTH is "Little Hands to Heaven," published by "Heart of Dakota". ALFG is "A Little Garden Flower," a Waldorf based curriculum. LHTH was already on my page, and I have added ALFG. If anyone familiar with either of these would like to post a concise but more informative summary, I would be happy to add it! See my Home School Abbreviations page for more abbreviations.

wtmviolet Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 [..] ALFG is "A Little Garden Flower," a Waldorf based curriculum. [..] Oops! I just realized that in my search results, the F & G were transposed. My response was actually for ALGF, but you asked about ALFG. I can't find anything for that, though; do you think the original poster meant ALGF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wiliamjoan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I have not ever seen anything from the standard internet abbreviations that made sense. Maybe you could ask the next time that you see it used! What you say regard, If you find out, please post it here, and I will add it to my abbreviations page., Nice idea.

Oops, somehow I missed this when you posted it! I've added "OM", and "TT" was already there (I probably added after you posted this). It's hard for me to come up with a succinct description for a curriculum that I haven't used, so (as always) feel free to make a suggestion for a better description.

DesertRambler Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 What is W&M as in W&M Utopia? What is MC as in MC 4+? Thanks! I've figured out that MC in this context stands for Meaningful Composition. It's by the people who do CQLA but is just the composition program broken out to stand alone. Still haven't figured out the W&M Utopia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I didn't get a notification email on your post (nor the previous post). If anyone posts an abbreviation here that is not on my webpage, and I don't respond within a week, please feel free to send me an email through my webpage. BTW, I also added AiG & AIG, which I had noticed while scanning through the messages in this thread. As far as I am aware, the only abbreviation that has been posted that hasn't been decrypted is TOW. Please let me know if you know that one or if I have missed any others. Thanks!
