Here here Brian... I'm the first to admit that my spelling is atroshuss (sp?)  It drives my wife crazy! And its probably why I went into the sciences (physics major)... I read the original Hienz thread and I'm glad this got moved so us slounge lizards can add our 2 cents. So here's my pet peeve, people that misuse science or technology terminology. And number one on my list is misuse of the phrase 'quantum leap' and thinking means a big jump... No doubt a side effect of that "show"...
