That's exactly it. Frankly I don't give an Amphiprion percula's ass about most of the spelling and grammatical errors on this board, which we all know sometimes prohibits efficient communication (you know it's bad when a poor speller complains about someone else's poor spelling; then again, I like big words and in the past people have complained about this being inefficient because they're too lazy to use a dictionary ). But Fiji is a place. This is like me asking someone if they live in Surray or how the weather is in Winnepeg (probably crap). I seriously wonder how many reefers think the place actually is "Figi", considering how prevalent the misspelling is...
