Hm. Good question. Tab stops are the place where the cursor stops when you
hit tab. In most text editors, it's every 8 characters. So if you've printed
0-7 letters in and then hit tab, it will take you to column eight. In Word,
tab stops might be every .5 inches, say, although you can set them to
different values. In LaTeX (LyX) you often don't need to use tabs because
you can use tables or itemize layouts instead.

"What in the world is Latex?" It's a more expressive way of saying "I have
no idea what LaTeX is."

Of course. We're hoping that the people who have already written
translations will write addenda now, but you can only do so many things at
once.
