It's probably far too late to institute this, but as the OA + method acronyms proliferate it's confusing that all seem to end in a letter sounds the same: D, V, or G. In speech, it's to easy to misunderstand what is being discussed.

I propose: OAD (dribble), OAS (sublimation, formerly known as vaporization - this would the heaviest lift to change even though it's a more accurate description of the actual process) and OAGly (glycerin).
