Heather:

Just keep reading the websites and the posts in these groups and you'll have the lingo in no time.

Do searches for terminology in the pasts posts of the group and you'll learn a lot.

Welcome the the funnest hobby around!

I think http://letterboxing.info/glossary/ has an easy to understand
dictionary. Also, there is a talk group for newbies at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newboxers/ Those might help!
