- Rogue is pronounced 'Roe-g', not 'roooj'.
- Gnome has a silent 'G'. It's pronounced 'Nome', not 'ge-nome'.
- 'Proc' is short for 'process'. Hence, PPM stands for Processes Per Minute. You do not 'take 2.5 seconds to proc a frostbolt.' There is no such thing as a 'Proc Spec warrior'
- 'Prot' stands for 'Protection'. There is no such thing as 'Protections Per Minute'
- Threat is pronounced 'TH-Rat' not Treat. There is no 'Treat Meter' except possibly on halloween.
- There is an H in Hearth. You do not Heart back to your inn.
- Garrote is not pronounced Karate. 'Gare-rut'.
