Another pet peeve is that people refer to Adobe's free PDF viewer as "Acrobat." Acrobat is the for-cost PDF creations/editing application. "Adobe Reader" is the free reader/viewer.

True. Now I'll add my Adobe-related pet peeve. I call it Acrobat Reader still, since that was the original name. Adobe has renamed it "Adobe Reader", but that's just not accurate. Acrobat Reader does not read _all_ Adobe product files. It only reads PDF files - no more, no less. It should therefore not be called Adobe Reader, it should be Acrobat Reader. Couple this with the fact that it does not read Acrobat files, but PDF files, and I can see a parallel... it's like calling FrontPage the Internet...

/me steps down from his soapbox and sits down.
