[SOLVED] A simple question

[Amazona aestiva]

Hi!
Perhaps noob question but I'd like to know:
What does "Refferals" mean?
I found it in "My Profile" and I've got 0 of it. Is it good?

PS: I tried a few reliable online dictionary, and those don't know it.

Try "referrals" (one f, two r's).

It can't find "referrals".

Maybe mine isn't a simple question?

I could be wrong, but I believe that's when you join, and the registration asks how you heard about the site, and you put someone's username in. Basically showing how many new users you've brought to the site.

Seriously? Not a very good dictionary, then.

It's one of those words that's so common that it's hard to explain. It's a nominal form of "to refer," meaning "to point to another resource." A referral, in the US at least, is what your primary doctor would give you if you needed to see a specialist.

Interesting.... Thanks the quick replies!
