    I have asked a couple of times in the threads where folks ask for information on something and they include "ISO" in the title.

    They either blew me off thinking I was making fun of them (Me? Never! :mrgreen:) or just never saw it.

    In all seriousness what do you mean when you use this string of letters? Such as in today's post - ISO: Seamstress/someone who sews (with a Serger)

    or also recently -ISO Plastic Vampire Teeth

    Thanks

    My first thought was also ISO=International Organization for Standardization so you're not a weirdo, you just spend too much time at work!

    I work in manufacturing so you spend a good deal of the day hip-deep in techspeak...ISO, UL, CE, TUV, ANSI, JSO, SAE, CAD, CST, CAM, FEA, MTBF, DXF, IGES, UG, CNC, HTD, XL, MXL, BOM, BOL, FOB, COTS, YRMV...

    When I see ISO it stands for an image file ready to burn to disc.

    Yep, I understand, I have been on 94 airplanes so far this year and just booked for AUS this morning.

    In addition like Mr. Pyle I have all the aerospace, automotive and chemical industry acronyms (PPAP, PFMEA, DFMEA, MSA, AIAG, etcetera) I sometimes wish we didn't always fallback on these shortcuts.

    As my company is ISO certified that is the first thing that pops into my head when I see the letters I.S.O
