    I'm on OP's side.. when i see people saying "threat" instead of "hate" or even "enmity" it bothers the crap outta me... i can put 2 and 2 together but still it's....just weird.

    And blatantly using ridiculous terms like "toon" just makes a person come off as an idiot.

    Being upset because of it makes a person come off as even more-so.

    My only pet peeve when it comes to people's verbiage?

    It's gil not gold. Gold is used in the craftsmanship of a goldsmith's trade, gil is the currency. There aren't gold sellers running rampant, there are gil sellers running rampant. People purchase items with gil, not gold. You deposit gil into your company's bank/chest for saving up for big purchases, not gold.

    It's not really that hard, I've been playing RPG's table top and video games for way to long that I care to admit to, and understand gold/copper/plat/mythril tends to be the norm. However, I've never had any issue understanding that most of the worlds the Final Fantasy's tend to play in have their currency as gil.

    The only terminology I 'hate' is "WoW terminology", really people, there were other games before WoW.

    As for things that slightly annoy me:

    DD as a reference to what you do. I know what the classes are in any given game, I know you hit stuff. I want to know how hard you hit for and how fast you can get the job done. DPS is an easily quantifiable answer and gives me the information I need up front, good or bad.

    On the whole Pally thing: I say this audibly, and will sometimes write it depending on the environment. PLD as the abbreviation...XIV is the only game I have played where it's in use.

    Therefore, DPS is something you do. DD is what you are.
    This is how I looked at it too, until I started playing WoW. It was odd seeing people asking for more DPS for their group.

    As I stated before, though, "DPS" doesn't bug me (I use the term myself), I just used it as an example.

    It's things like "Pally" or "Toon" or "Aggro/Threat" that just make me wanna facepalm for some reason.

    dude saying pally is like a cute way to say paladin.. here let me make some samples

    Paladin PLD= pally
    Dark Knight DRK = Darky
    Thaumaturge THM = Thaummy
    i can go ooon and ooon...
    also try saying on your VoIP " Hey guys im going to this fight as a PLD"..sounds off...

    with that said i allways use full class jobs name on VoIP or type PLD,SMN.. on the chat but to get annoyed by ppl saying it another way dosent bug me at all

    Well of course I'm not going to say, " I can tank on my PLAD". I wouldn't say "Pally" either, though. I'd probably go hipster and say "Paladin".

    ... MONK(E)Y!

    And by the way, I believe the special case of "PUG" can contribute to an extra 12 pages in this thread!
