Pet peeve: dark gray text on light gray background, see http://contrastrebellion.com/.

Otherwise a great text, just its presentation is a bit distracting (at least for my taste/eyes).

You've obviously never heard of Pet Rocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_Rock

Pet peeve: authors who cannot tell the difference between the noun 'phosphorus' and the adjective 'phosphorous'.

(And even use both indifferently. The 'paper' goes downhill from there, but today I only want to shave off a few points.)

Gary Dahl made millions in the '70s selling Pet Rocks. It's not like there's no precedent.

From a comment by Austin Haas of Pet Tomato:

"When we have time, we're going to release another installment of this game that utilizes a collection of backend components written in Common Lisp, using SBCL, Hunchentoot, and Postmodern, to allow players to create and submit their own game levels. We use that stuff internally now and it's working great, but we need to clean it up before it's ready for public use."
