Indeed. A genuine question was asked, and genuine answers were given. In terms of abbreviations, as captainkman (Kieran) has stated, there is a list of what they mean which I maintain (and am open to requests for meanings that are not in the list, as well as new abbreviations/meanings).
I agree that sometimes though if an online translator is used, the meaning may not make much sense, especially if you're translating from something like Russian or Chinese.

P.S. The only thing on this thread I did find confusing was the thread title.
