My two biggest pet peeves are ways my husband pronounces the words Pecan and Crayon. (Pee-can and Crown). Drives me nuts! I have shown him several crayola commercials indicating that the proper way to say crayon is cray on. I actually heard an audiobook reader say "crowns" the other day. She's also the author. I had never heard it said that way before.

I'm in a Facebook group for Ex-pats in Panama (or wannabes). Somebody started a post with
"Hello! Me and boyfriend are ESL teachers thinking about relocating to Panama". Took all my resolve not to comment on her grammar.

If we are talking about pet peeves in FB expat groups, I have a whole list.
