('SLA' in this context means single-letter-acronyms, not sealed lead-acid batteries. Similarly 'TLA' refers to the triple-versions of SLAs, not Transient Lunar Anomalies.)
Penalties for contravening the MORT (moratorium on reduced text) will apply as determined by PUMs (paid-up members) at our September AGM (Annual General Meeting), DV (Deo volante).
