Re: Should the "RPG" language be renamed and to what?

I've been playing Role-Playing Games since 1978 (that's 33 years), and
they've been around longer than that. While Role-Playing Games might be
slightly newer than RPG, they're not _much_ newer.

As someone who both plays RPGs and codes in RPG, I have to say this: Not
once, have I had a problem with the terms getting mixed up. Even by Google.

Thank you for not calling it "Armadingdong."

If only we could go back 50(?) years and get "them" to pick a different
name for the programming language. While we're at it, we should get them
to make RPG cooler from the get-go. Or we should go back 15(?) years and
get "them" to pick a different name for Role Playing Games.
