I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn't exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. Its a pointless thing, most people probably don't notice, but its wrong.

Fake internet points to anyone who knows why DB-9 bothers me.

Edit: corrected a missing n in an eastern

A full grown, mature, adult person saying "pasghetti" instead of spaghetti

[-] Dymonika@beehaw.org 5 points 10 months ago

I've never heard this in my life.

What if they're being overall intentionally childish?

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

It's irrational how it irritates me....it just does.

[-] l_b_i@yiffit.net 1 points 10 months ago

No judgment, are there other childish pronunciations that bother you too, or is just spaghetti? There is a company called pinnacle that uses a little girl intentionally mispronouncing the company name in their ads.

No, just that one. Most of the time people mispronounce things because they have only read the word and not heard it, so I try not to judge people when they do- but that one is a real fingernails on the chalkboard one for me.

Twice as annoying.

I hate when grown adults say they need to "go potty."
