Posts that butcher the English language with poor punctuation and sentence structure. Major spelling and grammar errors come a close second.

Seriously, this really bothers me. Normally I have the courtesy to not say anything but you did ask.

People who think the clown is the host in the clown/anemone relationship.
People who write, "My clownfish is "hosting in" my anemone." There is no such thing.
People who continue to write, "hosted in" even when they were previously corrected.

Ditto!!

As for complaining about topping off, well I've been topping off all my ten systems nightly for 17yrs now as I don't want the s.g. to change any more than it has to throughout the day.
It's not a pet peeve of mine though.
My biggest is the LFS employees lousy advice to hobbyists that I'm not allowed to correct or I get thrown out of certain stores If I'm caught.

Using Fahrenheit instead of metric Celcius on a Canadian forum. Hehe. How ironic that the title of this thread is "hey Canada".

I hate it when I make a deal to purchase some corals or frags from a seller and then they decide to sell them to someone else irregardless of the fact that the seller and myself had already made a verbal purchase agreement which includes specific coral(s), price and arrangements for pick up including the day for pick up.
