first off... a cartoon is still most of all a two-dimensional, usually satirical (caricature, if you may) drawing. the 'animated' part is a relatively new definition, so get over it. obviously though, the 'original' cartoon makes it even more obvious why 'toon' for an MMO character is rather silly :P

then... DD also means direct damage, so using either DD or DPS is 'silly' if you come up with the argument 'dps means damage per second, that's not it' (and it would also mean people shouldn't ask for 'heals' but ALWAYS say 'need healer'.. why does nobody ever complain about people saying they 'have heals'? :P)
