Phrases and terminology used on this thread

I often read the posts here so that I can learn about the game. I do however get lost after reading a few lines of a post when words such as, Grinder and Grinding are used.

Would it not be possible to have a post made that gives definitions of all the different terms used, and then have that post placed some where and stuck for easy referencing. I appreciate some one may have asked "What does that word mean?" and that question may have been answered, but it has now been lost in amongst the hundreds of other posts made since, well I could not find one any way.

I also appreciate that would take some one time to type, but I for one would be grateful as I am sure any one else new who comes here would be. I would do it myself but I do not know them all or what they mean.

One more thing, if there is a stuck post on the subject already, I will feel very daft having made this post.

This thread has a few covered, maybe post in it if there's another word you'd like to be added. Not sure if the original poster is still around though

[EDIT] I do see Grinding is in that post. Pretty much, grinding is when you just do the same thing over and over (such as staying in one area and killing the mobs over and over for the XP)
