Aaaaaaaargggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh! FOR THE LOVE OF ZOOLOGY, FROGS, SALAMANDERS AND THEIR ILK ARE AMPHIBIANS, NOT REPTILES!!!!!!!! and another one for good measure-

Sorry about that. Sometimes my better self loses control and mister hyper-know-it-all-accuracy-nut takes over. Amphibians vs reptiles is one of my pet peeves.

And while on the subject of pet peeves, "it's" means it is, so a phrase like "Russia has it's (it is) own problems" is WRONG.
