I don't think we have one here, but try http://www.linns.com/reference/terms/terms.aspx

If Linn's doesn't work, try (the not-quite-as-good) http://www.stamp2.com/library/abbreviate.asp

Lastly, don't be afraid to ask -- no one will bark at you. We all had to learn them once upon a time. Like any profession or avocation, Stamping has it's own jargon. You'll catch on quickly, I'm sure.

If there's something you don't understand - please ask.

I'm learning something new every day that I log in.
