DNG = Digital Negative Format - An Adobe invention, used by a lot of people understanding that PEFs not always are the best solution
As Jonas said, DNG is used widely. To learn more about the motivations not to use camera proprietary file formats visit OpenRAW | Digital Image Preservation Through Open Documentation.

CS2 = program suite from Adobe that contains Photoshop 9 and other things, replaced CS which I should guess had Photoshop 8 among various things stuffed into it
...and 'CS' stands for 'Adobe Creative Suite'.

I often ignore threads such as this but cannot ignore this one. And yes, I will sound like I'm flaming BUT I ain't.

Some comments made above are nothing but elitist and classist. I personally do not appreciate someone who doesn't speak the same language as I or, spell or write as I do, being called "vermin".

I think littlelaker and 35mm said it well and gave excellent reasoning and I won't add to them.

Bottom line is

1. If you don't like the thread, move on
2. If it gets the point accross than it is understood
3. If you want to help reply to the question otherwise, ignore and click on the next thread link.

The wonderfull (or is that wonderful) thing about the (inter)net [inter is a great team BTW] is that it has brought together peoples from around the world as nothing ever has before - not even Radio and TV (that's Television). For the first time people were able to communicate in the BEST way they could.

Something akin to international sign language but better. Did you know,that even sign language for the hearing impaired has dialects from east to west and Canada and the States.

Some should realise that the short form of words is not to be cool but because of the limitations of SMS size. SMS being Small Messaging Service or as it is commonly known in the US and Canada - Text Messaging.

Enough said.

this is probably one of the most well spoken forum's i've been on, and i've been on a lot. try moderating a pc hardware forum full of 15 year olds. you think some of the abbreviations that are used here are bad? or obscure?

simple grammar mistakes, spelling errors or what not, even net shorthand I think is acceptable. we're posting on an internet community, not writing Pulitzer caliber articles.....

i'm sorry, but to complain on something like this, IMO is petty...

but thats just me....

i dont know....i never seen someone post something that bad here....
I agree, I am not sure why this is an issue, here of all places...

"no internet speak" on this forum?

mn... This forum is actually ON internet~

Also English is my second language, I wouldn't want to surf in a forum and feels like writing an assignment to a professor.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the original posting was meant to refer to the use SMS style abbreviations and specialist acronyms. The posting did refer to them as 'internet speak' but that was corrected in a later post.
In my post I appealed to posters to use simple standard English so that non native speakers would find it easier to take part.
Somehow some folk with some kind of inferiority complex seem to have interpreted it as a personal slur.
As someone who has often taken the part of mentor to immigrants from various countries, assisted people with learning difficulties, and had to learn another language as a matter of neccessity in a foreign country, I do understand the need for simplicity and standardisation: It helps to prevent confusion.

Communication

I am in complete agreement with the ( voluntary ) elimination of those childish abbreviations that are becoming so annoyingly prevalent.

We are here for the purpose of communicating with and instructing and assisting each other. The use of those "shortcuts" only serves to short circuit the information being transmitted.

Furthermore, if I have to be instructed how and when to laugh ( LOL), whatever the topic, it can't be very funny. How about SSTY?

Most of the abbreviations I encounter are unintelligible gobbledegook and serve only to slow down or even stop the transference of the message and make it well worth passing by.

Anther grumpy old man,

Mickey
