COMMON b'c I sure can think of many other abbreviations that I've seen here that are used by only a few folks....

Carolyn, thanks for your response, and, with all due respect: I am sort of new to the specific language around tomatoes, and while I am an experienced horticulturist, those three terms threw me when used about a tomato. Cracking and Chlorosis are a bit more widely used.
I think you were right with the idea of keeping the glossary concise, but it's got everything anyone suggested. Maybe some other member with a better editorial eye will revamp it in their own way.
