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

          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.

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