Perhaps it's because it's almost 12:30 am on Christmas and I'm awake formatting my father's computer. . . Bob, I understand your frustration with regard to the incorrect spelling of common aquarium/hobbyist terms (in addition to rather simple english words), but if you want to get technical, the common misuse of the word "bulb" should also get to you. There are actually very few bulbous aquarium LAMPS. For instance, an Iwasaki MH LAMP is not bulbous in shape and therefore is not a "bulb" in the technical sense. There are no fluorescent "bulbs" becase they do not constitute a bulbous shape. The correct term would be "lamp" in most instances, and in fact, "lamp" encompasses "bulbs."
And that's my last rant for '02.
