  Actually, most dictionaries will list both Dwarfs and Dwarves as options for the plural of Dwarf. (And we totally ignored the VERB dwarf in this discussion...)

  As for pet-peeves, if I see one more person type the word "definately", I'm going to take a hostage. Definitely!

  I know it is probably a vile form of prejudice, but it's very difficult to take anyone with a poor grasp of their primary language seriously. Even the most well thought-out idea can be diminished by poor spelling and grammatical errors.
