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.

I don't really mind all the misspellings, typos or grammatical errors littering the forum(s). My brain usually process them fine. What drives me bonkers is when I step into a LFS and start talking the talk only to get tripped up by words that virtually everyone pronounces differently. How the heck do you pronounced Acropora, Giessemann, copepod, zeovit, etc..

Have you ever tried to sound knowledgeable without actually saying any of those words?... I stay home for this very reason

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.

Gauging Interest on a Rimless Giesemann"?

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
