Abstract: Ever felt like your measurement/calibration service provider or other Test & Metrology professionals are speaking a different language? Whether you are experienced or new to the measurement & test community you sometimes may want to get a handle on the evolving related lingo & jargon? Find yourself sitting in a session and the presenters are speaking in acronyms and you hope someone will eventually provide a translator? All this can certainly leave you feeling confused and unsure about getting the most for your professional development. Wishing you knew where to access resources to gain this knowledge, where to search, who to contact?
