I absolutely hate it when people refer to McDonald’s (the fast food chain) as “MacDonald’s,” as in, “I went to MacDonald’s for lunch today.” It’s not M-a-c-Donald’s, it’s just M-c-Donald’s!!! How can you screw up a name you see in print, on TV, or in person at least 10 times per day? And no, these aren’t merely typos because the people in question use the same (mis)spelling over and over again.

Yes, I know this is a trivial annoyance and pales in comparison to the “real problems” plaguing the world today, but it still bugs me to no end.

Am I alone here?

   I cannot tell you how right you are…
   I hear MICKEY D’s way too much too.

   This is so funny. I know it’s a pretty trivial matter, but it’s one of my pet peeve’s as well.
