Pending Consistency of the use of PMs vs DMs

Bit of a nitpicky thing here, but Showdown is very inconsistent with calling the private messages sent to a single receiving user a DM (Direct Message) vs a PM (Private Message). While both are technically correct as they are both direct and private (mostly), having them referred to in multiple ways can be confusing.

I'd like to reference the handling of PMs/DMs internally for which should be utilized, and considering the URL used is "dm-[user]", I think any instance of PM should be replaced by DM.

[Picture] even within just the Options menu, there is an inconsistency between which it is called.
