Seen it in every game.

Assa/Sin in Diablo 2.
Sin/SinX in Ragnarok.
Sin in Neverwinter Nights.

It's just faster and easier. And some engines block "assa", probably because of his/her ass.

Hayoooo.

Because few people can spell 'assassin' properly.

Question 2: Why do players denote 'requirement' with Q?

vvv Insert irrational, flawed logic down here. vvv

It's abreviating the word.

Sin, War, Rit, Mes, Para, Derv, Ele, Necro. Some people will even abreviate my name as "Ty".

Not everybody likes to fully use words, and this is the best way to show that without negatively influencing your posts grammatically or such reasons.

And everyone here likes to cross said line each and every time. :P

If you were an Assassin, which would you rather have people call you?

An ass or a sin?

No.

Lazy - Getting the remote and changing the channel.

Convencience - Developing a sound-activated system to change the channels when you shout.
