How the heck do you pronounced Acropora, Giessemann, copepod, zeovit, etc..

Have you ever tried to sound knowledgeable without actually saying any of those words?... I stay home for this very reason

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.

Sphelps for the win. I'll be scrolling down a thread and as SOON as my eyes pickup a repeat picture I get pretty annoyed. And of course 10 others usually follow. I will occasionally repost a single picture if I'm referring to it and it's not a very recent post.

I guess the second thing (and I'm joking guys) would BE Sphelps himself. He knows a buttload about a surprisingly broad array of topics which makes debate difficult since I don't.

Damn Tony. Get a life!

Haha. I removed any mention of 1000 posts from my post like THREE seconds after I posted thinking maybe I *won't* be able to make it tonight.

So yeah...cat's out of the bag. I'm whoring for 1000 =)
