Thank you

SIL could be son in law or sister in law and sometimes it takes careful reading to work out which one the poster means, especially if it's in a 'family saga' post where there's a lot of 'he said, she said' going on. You might start out thinking the OP is talking about one but then carry on and find that it's the other.

Its just site specific jargon. I've been on here for a decade and am fluent in it to the point where I sort of think in the DH/ DD terms in my head. You get used to it.
