I thought of three more.
- When people mispronounce names or common words. For example: my bosses cats name is Oxana (pronounced Ox- Anna), but one of the girls I work with call her Ox-on-a. It drives me nuts.
- When people shorten my pets names or give them nicknames. The same girl calls my cat, Oliver, Ollie. I grit my teeth and kindly correct her. She does that all the time, and not just with Oliver, but others too.
- Also "baby talk", I hate it. I can handle mild baby talk, but when you start saying "foodzies" instead of "food" then you've gone too far.
