So, we've probably all been there when someone tells you to do a WC or add some AQ. And you just stare at your screen and try and decode it. So I've decided to make this thread so that all of the new members may know exactly what we mean when we tell you what a nice "EEHMPK" you have. Comment anything I may have missed. There may already be a thread about this but it's probably buried under more recent threads.
