I second this. Especially abbreviations in professional jargon are hard to understand for people outside that profession and from another country, too.

Please could I ask for people not to use abbreviations at least the 
first time they mention the word or phrase. I am from the UK and was 
very interested in one recent posting but couldn't understand what 
medication had appeared to have worked so gave up frustrated.
Many thanks
