My current pet peeve is the use of "perfect", often pronounced "PURR-fect".


As an example, I place on order at a coffee shop. The young cashier tells me "Your total is six dollars and fifty cents."

I give her a ten-dollar bill.

"PURR-feect" she replies.


I think "No. Perfect is when I give you a five-dollar bill, a one-dollar bill, and two quarters."
