And now, trivial irritations.

I loathe the use of the abbreviation "DnD" for Dungeons & Dragons.

It wouldn't bother me quite so much if I only saw l33tsp33king semi-literates using it, but I've seen it otherwise articulate, well-spoken, grammatically flawless writers use it as well.

Come on, people, is shift-7 that hard?

D&D

Deeee-Ampersand-Deeee.
Say it with me now. Am-per-sand. Aaaaam-perrrrr-saaaaand.

Actually, the way I type, "DnD" requires MORE keystrokes than "D&D". When I type D&D, I just keep the shift key depressed -- for DnD, I have to shift-unshift-shift, a sufficiently complex maneuver that I have to actively think about it.
