A dictionary of common welding terms please?

I'm Aaron from Brisbane, Australia and have been welding for about 6 months now.
I gave up Emergency Room nursing after 23 years and took up welding.

I'm not sure if it's a country vs country thing but I struggle to understand a lot of basic welding terminology posted on this site.
Maybe we could develop a dictionary of common words and phrases?

Re: A dictionary of common welding terms please?

Miller Welding has a very good (Free) welding dictionary on their Miller Resources web page

http://www.millerwelds.com/resources/dictionary.html

If you do a Google search for Welding Dictionary you'll find at least 5 more good welding dictionary's available for free as well as some web site searching welding terminology books.
