DVD = digital video/versatile disc
haha, gotcha Überplayer.dvddemystified.com said:And the official answer is? "Nothing." The original acronym came from "digital video disc." Some members of the DVD Forum (see 6.1) tried to express that DVD goes far beyond video by retrofitting the painfully contorted phrase "digital versatile disc," but this has never been officially accepted by the DVD Forum as a whole. The DVD Forum decreed in 1999 that DVD, as an international standard, is simply three letters. After all, how many people ask what VHS stands for? (Guess what, no one agrees on that one either.)
He is completely right. This came up at Wc3Campaigns, and it was decided that this was the correct answer. This is really a mystery, but, since I first saw the acronym JASS, the JA popped out as Just Another. SS is really what is up for debate.
Actually, according to (common.j or blizzard.j or one of those), the language is actually 'JASS 2'.
Explain that.
I'm pretty sure JASS was not used in Starcraft.

Perhaps orc_tamer knows seeing as how he works for blizzard now.
You must be kidding? He really does work for TEH Blizzard? I wish I was in his position right now...
I'm truly jealous.
