    Now that I know what fsw/ffw mean - like you said, it would be alot easier for the reader (and probably the writer) to read/write 120 feet, especially if they've already described the diving being in an ocean or a lake.

    I think people use acronyms just to make themselves look clever (no offence to you Ace for using fsw in another thread, nor anyone else for that matter). The number of IT geeks i've been around that have mentioned about VOiP, SOAP, IP, DHTML, MSDN, NTF, XML, CSMA/CD
