I always want to tell them, Hey, that bill is the FRONT of that cap, not the back!

Another thing, it is like fingernails screeching across chalkboard to me when I hear somebody say "aks" instead of "ask". It just sends chills down my spine. It offends the copyeditor in me. (I was a newspaper copyeditor for 45 years.) I know, it's the spoken word and not the printed word, but still, that mispronunciation is an offense against the English language to my ears. I am a bit of a grammar freak and I have quite a few grammar and pronunciation pet peeves.
