Quite. I have run across the term "Internet of Things" many times, but before this thread, I had never seen "IoT". I would like to be able to read a post without having to look up arcane abbreviations. I read very fast; any Web search is much slower. Consequently, I am liable to just skip any post that makes it difficult. (People who want help for a problem should consider this factor among others when posting about their issues.)
