There's a difference between failure to type better and failure to know better. I can overlook the former, but the latter is irritating.
Oh yeah.....good ol' nucular. That one just slays me......and since we're going nucular and all (which is affiliated largely with war) I'd also like to point out how much I enjoy (not) when people say gernade, instead of grenade.
Just one of those little peeve-y pronunciation things for me, along with pitcher vs picture.
And a new one: I have a co-worker who refuses, absolutely refuses to say banana. It's 'nanies', as in nah-knees.
She has one in her lunch every day, and every day it's 'Time for my nanie!'. I just want to scream and claw my face every single time she says it.
(closest smilie I could find to screaming and clawing of the face....)

Oh, please do smack her (not yourself) and tell her the Mighty Queen made you do it. I hate adults who speak in babytalk.

I'm an adult and use babytalk with my dog all the time. She understands it, too, and she's also an adult.
(She doesn't care for 'nanies, though.)
Remember Archie Bunker? He frequently said words that were similar sounding to what he meant, and isn't it funny that we all understood?
Should we be worried that we did?

Well, babytalk with your PETS is a whole nother story (I have four cats, but nobody is around to hear me talk to them, hehehe).
