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.

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

Heh, I use LOL a lot.

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.

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..

Haha yeah me too! I'm pretty useless without google and that only tells you how to spell it

I agree with others, spelling and gramma aren't important in a social environment like this forum but it does bother me in the proffesional world. I actually get a kick out of things like that around here, often it's quite funny but it certainly never bothers me.
