       My pet peeve names are those named after specific people, like
Thomashuxleyia. They were all perfectly wonderful beings. Shouldn't they
have their OWN name? DV<


I personally dislike Anythingraptor. I was talking to someone about
_Eoraptor_, and they asked if it was as mean as the "Raptors" from Jurassic
Park. Gah...same thing with oviraptors and such. People now assume that they
are related to dromeosaurs, due to Jurassic Park...
Second worst is "saurus." I think its overused and boring...
Peace,
