When is SOMEONE going to publish a glossary for all the terms and $T%G!D@F#$* abbreviations?!  Everyone seems bent on using abbreviations (of their own making?) in every thing I read about the DJI (well at least this is a brand name abbreviation  - but who knows what it means!) products.  You can’t turn a page in the manual without running into an abbreviation or terminology that is not explained.

I am not nor do I suspect may people are clairvoyant and flailing through the manual, the on line forum or other sources of information about the products is a challenge to those of us non-clairvoyant people.  Can someone at DJI publish a glossary of terms used in all the publications that are actually supposed to be helpful in learning about these products?

Thank you in advance for the Glossary Of Terminology,
A non-clairvoyant in the Pacific Northwest


*($T%G!D@F#$) a substitute for derogatory expletives of the most horribly foul nature not suitable for mixed groups, women or children under the age of 21.
I keep getting this ambigous message:Sorry, Your request antecedents incorrect or forms authentication string does not match, Can not submit


What the heck does THAT mean?

PS:It took me a good 45 minutes to figure out how to even post this message after an untold number of failed attempts (see above ambigous message)
