RPG and FPS
When you hear 'RPG' and 'FPS' I think of Role Playing Games and Frames Per second but each one has 2 main meanings. Which do you think of?
Discuss getting mixed up with abbreviations. I remember when I first played minecraft I saw the option with 'FPS' in it. Then I thought it meant you could choose if it was a first person shooter or not and I was totally confused. Then I realised it was to do with frames per second.

Re: RPG and FPS
RPG: I think of Rocket Propelled Grenade, so I was wondering what all of these Wolf RPG's* were all about when I first joined Scratch.
FPS: I am a novice animator in Flash, so FPS has always meant Frames Per Second to me. I have never actually heard that other meaning before.
*That is correct grammar. You should put an apostrope and an s when reffering to plural acronyms.

Re: RPG and FPS
It depends on the context. I just use the correct one where I should.

Re: RPG and FPS
