this could be a helpful thread to lots of people! when i first started on forums, i had NO idea what "DD, DH, DS" meant. i still don't use the terms cus i think they're kinda goofy. no offense, but i'm sure there's some taken.

i guess i'm evil cus my virgin forum mind would've NEVER figured those out without someone telling me!
