Terminology. Why does it bug me and others?

[Ranzan]

Toon was a term used by ppl I knew so I followed suit. But to deny a raise over a term is extreme to me. Plus do it really matter how a person died? I can see it now.
Raisee: Raise plz <pos>
Raiser: Before I raise you how did you die so I can determine if your worth this raise.

Please devs please put reraise in the 2.1 -_-

This is a great idea. I'm going to ask people a question if they want a raise. It they answer it correctly they just won themselves a raise. If not then I'll just ride on off. Thanks for the idea.

I came up with a pretty good idea:

If pally is a term, I suggest we start calling the gladiator similarly. Gladdy. Just picture it!

"sup brah, my gladdy is like totally cooler than you"
"other than gladdy what other class is needed for pally??? lvl 15 healer right"

When people hear terms they aren't familiar with or that didn't derive from the first MMO they played they automatically think that it came from WoW. Pretty much all those terms I can coin from pre-WoW MMOs, but the fact of the matter is that WoW brought in a huge influx of players into the MMO environment so this is where a good portion of the MMO player base picked up these terms.

I think the only solution is to abolish all that is different and use the same term for everything, right? because having multiple terms to describe one thing is never found in any language, especially not in english. We should just go a step further and go full south park and shun anyone who doesn't..
