I used to frequent nikon singapore as well. they have some nicely written articles and i read a few of them before i bought my camera. Maybe the propaganda worked

Check out their service and support -> knowledge database & download
under lenses section do a search

The singapore site links back to nikonasia knowledge database
Lens terminology ( nice layout and illustrations )
AIS AI ( again very informative )

OT a bit:

In the English language, there is only one alphabet, which is a set that comprises 26 letters.
