    Wasn't it people at TE that called them "Reecy Peecy's"?

    My mom does this quite a bit. Here's a few examples:

    She calls the movie "The Littlest Mermaid". The actual title is "The Little Mermaid".

    She watches "Oh-fra". I believe the rest of the world watches "Oprah".

    She calls them "roTH-weilers". Everyone else knows them as "Rottweilers".

    YES, it was TE folks that did that. But also, my friends here know it annoys me, so of course they say it all the time.

    Personally, I love Reecy Cups. Nothing goes better than chocolate and peanut butter.

    A lady I work with says "supposebly" (instead of "supposedly" and I also can't stand when people say "warter" instead of "water".

    However, my biggest pet peeve of late has been people who use incorrect grammar and spelling. I'm turning into my mom, the English nazi.

    I'm going to have to go with the addition of an "S" for no apparent reason. Example: Krogers, Wal-marts, Blockbusters, etc. In a sentence: I have to go to Krogers to pick up some groceries.
    Drives me crazy.
