Title: List of microstock acronyms
Post by: leaf on December 04, 2012, 15:59

I've started a page of microstock acronyms (http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?page=microstockacronyms)

Anyone have anything to add?

You can also get to it by going up to Tools > Microstock Acronyms

Most people seem to use FT. FL is Florida, although I guess BS means something else too. And, B.M. (best match) is... umm... well, actually that's not much different.  ;D

It must have something also to do with how we pronounce it. I dont pronounce it "foto-lia". more "fotolllia"

English isn't your mother tongue though is it? (judging from your other post where you described your female cousin as "he"). SR and SK make no sense at all. Then again, try to find any rules in English that make sense.
