In Meat Space

I reject the "IRL" usage in World of Warcraft. Sitting in front of a blinking black box and hanging out with my friends is indeed real.

I propose changing IRL to IMS or "In Meat Space" to designate that some action is being done in the meaty realm.

This distinction should become obsolete in ~20 years when we all upload our consciousnesses to computers, but in the mean time, this should help clarify things.

I don't like it. It makes me feel that aliens are in fact watching and planning to use us as food.
