Exclamation We need an R/C Glossary in this fine forum.

Greetings Moderators
I didn’t find a thread to post suggestions, so I thought this would be the right place to post it.
It would be of a great help to many members, to have an essay excess Glossary for R/C terms, which includes different name or synonymous used for the same words, as well as, its meanings and in some cases an illustration.
BTW, if there is no suggestions box, it would be nice to have one to.
Thanks in advance, for your cordial attention to my suggestion & request, in rank to improve this forum.
Have a great day!
Cheers

BEC - Battery Eliminator Circuit
BL - Brushless
C- Capacity of a lipo battery
##C - Continuous discharge rating of a battery,
the number indicating how many times the nominal capacity (e.g. 4000mAh 20C would support 20*4000mA = 80000mA =80A continous discharge)

CC - Castle Creations
COG - Center Of Gravity
CT - Counting Thread (represnt'n) < JK
CVD - Constant Velocity Driveshaft
DSM - Delta-Signal Modulation, a signal encoding methodology used in some 2.4Ghz radios such as those from Spektrum RC.
