One more from me I was just reminded of.
People who say Epsom instead of Epson (Epsom is a suburb of London).
When people say "compact" for Compaq. That's just idiotic. My boss used to do that. I never corrected him but I would shudder every time he did it.
In an almost related tale of woe, I was once 'corrected' by a different boss when I told a supplier that we weren't averse to using VoIP technology for our new phone system. In his next sentence the boss stated that he wasn't 'adverse' either. Sorry, Ed, I'm afraid that's exactly what you were.
