What bugs you?
 

Are there any phrases or common misspells or grammar issues on the forums that you think people should have figured out? Just for fun of course. :D

For me...



"Rimless". It is Trimless!! All tanks have a rim.

"Gauging Interest". Is it for sale or not??

"Giesemann". That's how it is spelled, take note. ;)

:lol:

Anemone- yes it's a tricky one, but not hard to look up and spell right.

"LOL" kind of bugs me when people use it ALL the time. Are they actually laughing out loud? Or when they post something and it always ends with LOL when it's not even remotely funny. Maybe it's just me.

Roflmao!

See, that I don't mind, cause you actually thought my comment was funny ;)...but I know you aren't actually on the floor!

Hahahaha! (yep I actually laughed)

I just don't like it when I can barely read something because of the persons spelling, grammar and punctuation. Little mistakes are no big deal. I've probably made one or two in this post myself but some of the garbage I read can be pretty bad... ReefCentral is much worse for this.

A that is how you spell Geissman, HEHE... I hope you are not calling me out!

Heh, I use LOL a lot. :p

But speaking of "a lot", that brings me to MY pet peeve: "alot". THERE IS NO SUCH WORD, PEOPLE!! You can have "A LOT" of something, or "A LITTLE" of something. You can "allot" an allotment, you can allot a lot, but not you cannot allot a lot of alot.

Wow, say that 5 times really fast

Bugs me when people say "there" instead of "their" or "they're".

grrr!!!!....

.

Recent one for me is then/than. I hate this more then you. Than, I have to go edit it because it bothers me so much. So their!!

You do something, THEN you do something else. Or, I would prefer to do that more THAN this. They're going over there to get their stuff.

Oh those bother me too VFX and Brad!!!

Just gauging interest:
I have a rimless 48g tank with 2x250W Geissemann MH liting. Will also throw in a large amenome and 2 True Perks. (Their a mated pair and host with they're aneneme) You can Also have alot of snailz. If I get some inquirees than Ill' cum up with a price. LOL


.

Wow, why don't you ever call me when you have spillage at the liqour store to dispose of? No way you can be sober and come up with that!


By the way, what really burns my a$$ is an open flame about three feet high!

At least you capitalized and used punctuation. I can forgive someone for having poor spelling and grammar if they at least make an effort to compose a real sentence.

Argh.....what's with the LOL? Was posting something for sale really that funny? :)

PS - Nice one!

+1

:rolleyes: Oh dear....BTW how long did it take for you to come up with that?

I've got to agree. Some of you are a bit picky considering you are browsing the WORLD WIDE WEB. :lol:

Not everyone posting grows up with an A+ in English class, let alone took English as a first language in school. :wink:

I'm sure I share this pet peeve with many people but i hate it when people dont capitalize their "i's" and dont use any or improper punctuation and have run on sentances for ever and ever and ever on multiple subjects that never seem to end or have any discernable structure to the story that theyre trying to tell. also when people dont use paragraph breaks and just go on typing forever and leave a huge giant block of text which is impossible to read really drives me nuts.


So I'll stop.

My pet peave is when someone posts an honest and sincere question or comment, then others tend to jump in and start the bashing.... I think this has happened to everyone.

As Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along"

:lol:

Gauging Interest on a Rimless Giesemann"? :)

Cheers,
Vic

Here is another:

"HELP, Identify please... I think this is BAD"

Then there is no PIC!!!!

He bugs me.

Alot is not a word.

What bugs me?

My stupid tang dumping another cupful of water all over the floor just after I have cleaned up his last spill.

This happened at least 10 times last night. I added a gallon of NSW to the tank before I went to bed...not the easiest way to do a water change :twised:

That wouldn't be your precious Doofus you're talking about would it? :razz:

I changed his name but I can't say what his new name is on a family oriented board :mrgreen:

I thought this was a reef oriented board...

Sure you can: "Poo Head"

Yea but Poo Head doesn't seem to convey the right amount of annoyance somehow

May seem quite trivial, but there 'is' a singular/plural grammar error that seems to have snuck its way into our lingo (I know, lingo prolly isn't a word). I even find so called professionals like radio and television announcers making this error. "There's" instead of "There're"? Sounds kooky but everyone seems to use "there's" when the proper grammar would be "there are". Not even sure "there're" is a proper abbreviation. In any case, "There's lots of them." or "There's many cases." are just two examples. "There ARE lots of them" ore "There ARE many cases, people!" Not IS. Ha, ha (note no LOL), I've been waiting a long time to air this one out. Thanks for the thread Mindy.

If it's still not sinking in, or too confusing, have a listen to the Frank Zappa song "Apostrophe"... Hmm, to spell check or not to spell check...

Yeah it's kinda Wimpy. OK Shithead!

I find it really annoying when someone says" I have stuffs for sale" or "there're lots of stuffs for sale". Stuff itself is a plural you can't pluralize a plural. Dammit Man!!

Ok, now my head hurts. NNOL. That's Nyuk Nyuk Out Loud for all you Stooges fans!

And also the misuse of "a".

"A apple" or "a eye" is not proper grammer.

"An apple" or "an eye" is.

the "n" needs to be attached before the next word if it begins with a vowel unless it's "y".

Anyways, sorry those are the two main one's that make the hair on my neck rise.

:mrgreen:

Haha while I agree that rimless isn't the best word however it related to the lack of bracing not so much trim, I don't think braceless sounds as good and rimless is kind of the industry standard term ;)

What I hate is when people quote pictures, drives me nuts!! Delete the pictures when you quote a post, it takes way longer to scroll through the thread when you have wait and scroll through the same pictures over and over.

Haha I feel better now, great thread :)

Not all of us have one of dhem dare fancy edumications. But for me I'm not sure if it's bothered or entertained buy how some of the threads go for simple questions to off topic argument.

+1 FOR ALOT I refuse to even mark my students work if it appears in an assignment.
