I agree completely. If someone is just making up their own abbreviations as they go, it can be problematic but basically, the vast majority of users are working with very common abbreviations for this forum. And when in doubt, ask away!
For those who need a little help, since I didn’t get the G&T reference, these are just a few of the more commonly used acronyms:
PJA - Princess Julianna Airport PJIA. - Princess Juliana International Airport SXM - St Martin/Sint Maarten AXA - Anguilla StB - St. Bart’s P’berg - Philipsburg StK - St. Kits GC - Grand Case OB - Orient Beach OBC - Orient Beach Club OBBR - Oyster Bay Beach Resort BSV - Beachside Villas SBR - Simpson Bay Resort RILP -Royal Islander Le Plage AUC - American University of the Caribbean TTOL - Travel Talk on Line ROFLMAO - Rolling on. Floor Laughing My......... Never mind. I’m sure you got it already!
Idk - I don’t know Jic - Just in case
Adding a few more as requested:
SMYC - St. Maarten Yacht Club - great spot for breakfast and drinks while yacht watching BBC - enjoyable blended Island drink made with Baileys, banana, and chocolate BBB - Buccaneer Beach Bar CO - Club Orient co - clothing optional
And the list goes on and on. These may seem pretty inane to most here but I can easily see where and why a new-comer might be at least a little bit confused by them. I’m sure there are lots more but these come immediately to mind. 😊😊
There is one that always confuses me - SBYC - Which could be Simpson Bay Yacht Club condominiums, obviously in Simpson Bay on the lagoon side - OR - could also be Simpson Bay Yacht Club which actually exists and meets, or did, at the Passanggrahan Hotel in P’berg. Go figger...... I get it confused all the time with SMYC, home of one of the best Bloody Marys on the island. Or so they tell me.......
