			As the member who first created this list, it started as an acronym list but has evolved to be more. I think this is a good change. Looking at it from the perspective of a new member, they don't necessarily know if a term is an acronym, a term, an abbreviation, or anything else. They just want to find out what it is. As experienced members, it doesn't impact what we do either way. At one point I renamed the page to Dictionary but someone else changed it back. I was planning to ask IT if they can change the web link to Dictionary to further clarify what it is. Additionally, the DOD publishes a "DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms" which includes Terms & Definitions and Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Initialisms. This is modeled after that document, just simplified into one list for ease of finding the term. Someone can still create an article on a specific term, this just gives us one-stop shopping with unfamiliar terms, etc. Ideally, the two would be linked but coexist.
