What really inspired me to put it together was an email from reader Wamphyri as follows: Although I've been playing WoW for a little while now, there's still a few things that puzzle me within the game. My main problem is the abbreviations everyone uses in chat. I was recently in IF yeah, I know that one now! The guy asking was a level something mage, so I thought I'd send him a whisper apologising for my noob-ness, of course to ask what DPS meant.
He replied quite quickly and told me it meant Damage Per Second. He found it quite amusing that I didn't know, saying that he has the same trouble himself regarding this issue. This reader is certainly not the only person I've run into who has trouble with WoW's lingo, so I thought it might be helpful to write up a list of all the common abbreviations I could find.
