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

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

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...
