Dearborn Moderator United States 96730 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 11:07 pm We use the letter "MD" for Machine Doubling quite often, why is it not hot linked yet? And could we get it linked to the fully spelled out reference? (please?) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 12:22 am Hmm. It's also commonly used in North America for "Maryland", is it not? While to Europeans, "MD" stands for "Moldova". And everywhere, "MD" is commonly understood to stand for "Doctor of Medicine". Might be a little confusing if someone in their welcome thread or sigline says "Hi, I'm an MD from MD" and they find themselves hotlinked to Machine Doubling. "MD" might be commonly used for " Machine Doubling" in the Varieties and Errors subforums, but everywhere else, it means something else. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

While to Europeans, "MD" stands for "Moldova" Yes that is true, which is why all state and other pronouns are not hot-linked. But this IS a coin related forum for the most part - and as such, I think that MD should be linked as it relates back to Machine Doubling 99.9% of the time here Collecting since 1972.

I'm headed out to cut the grass right now and it's in the 90s already I may not feel like doing anything the rest of the day when I'm done. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
