[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4521997, member: 70778"] Yes you could take the Shakespearean approach and go "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet", or you could realize that just because it looks like one a bidet is NOT a toilet. The names are different to actually tell people what you are actually talking about and thus why they are different. So by just calling anything D&D, you never really know what another person is talking about when you meet someone new and discuss it and could be meaning very different things. I used RPGs before ever playing D&D, and dice, classes, and races had little to do with their use. Well actually in the situation race played a very important part in their use as they were to be aimed only at one race and not your own, otherwise you were using the RPG incorrectly. ;) So trying to lump all things together only does a disservice to everyone as it doesn't really identify the subject you are talking about but just an over generalization of it.
