Leep, I like you. Now, stop apologizing. You have every right to get excited over the cool stuff in this game, no matter when it was implemented. New to you is still new.
About the "toon" and "whisper" stuff... no worries! Not all of the community will bash you for it. Just shrug off the ones who make an actual fuss and demand you adopt their views before they accept you; they aren't too worldly. (Yes, it seriously happens in this community.)
By the way, here's a list of useful sites for FFXIV info and other random tidbits

Oh, my post wasn't meant to offend. I made it jokingly.
But like others have said, yeah, toon is not a popular term 'round these parts.
I've just always thought the term 'toon' sounded ridiculous. I always heard 'character' from around 2000 up until sometime in 2008 on WoW.
Yeah dont take stuff in forum personally, enjoy your stay with your toon, i loved seeing people genuinely excited for this little things.
I always like reading the perspective of newer players. Makes me feel like this game has a future.
