Have you ever googled D&C? I've never liked that acronym anyway, I try to always write out "Doctrine and Covenants." If I'm genuinely pressed for space, Doc. & Cov.
I'd just hate for someone genuinely curious to know what you were saying go and Google it.

I know when I think of the term "D&C" I definately think of the medical procedure, not of Doctrine & Covenants (however, I'm not Mormon), but I can just imagine what else you would learn if you googled it.

I knew that's what D&C meant - it was part of the reason I'd heard cited for why were "supposed" to refer to it as the D&C.

I don't know if this is in response to me quoting the Doctrine and Covenants just a moment ago, but I honestly try to avoid the abbreviation for this reason.
It was that way on lds.org and I cut and pasted. Blame them. Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

There are reasons I only use the abbreviation when talking to known Mormons (or people who I am sure will know what I am talking about).

Actually, when you google it, most of the first few pages, at least, are about Washington D.C. Go figure.

I know what you're talking about, but the first thing that flashes in my mind is still the medical definition.

That don't make no kind of sense.
I just figured with it being the study text for Sunday School this year it would probably come up a lot. And it is used in conference talks, lesson manuals and on LDS.org.
I was just thinking if someone were reading along and didn't know what we were talking about and googled it, so I did google it. If Doctrine and Covenants had appeared on my screen I wouldn't have said anything.
But it does raise the point of the tendency to discuss LDS subjects in an in-group way on the forum. I know we have had this subject before, so I apologize.

Wow. That's worse than a Mormon friend of mine who would tell her co-workers she was leaving to attend FHE (Family Home Evening.) It was months before someone got up the guts to ask what FAG stood for.

It has to be my combination of Firefox and the Adblock plugin. I don't get googleads on Hatrack.
