...@Bluestocking Great minds think alike et all :) <br /><br />I dont mind if people abbreviate their own names. As long as they dont do anything to mine. And I find it very difficult to refer to someone by the initials even on mail, unless am talking to someone else about a person and I do not want the world to know.<br /><br />So many things that annoy me!!!

Like why some people tend to abbreviate their own name to a single Alphabet and it is not because their original names are wrong. And i hate it when someone tries to do that to my name. "You might not like yours but I like mine very much. So, don't you dare!" I would like to say.Bluestockinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961370538312610961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681312837094557550.post-19083445134491175732011-12-07T10:30:25.553+05:302011-12-07T10:30:25.553+05:30@Mommie I just remembered this "ma bad" ...@Mommie I just remembered this "ma bad" expression. Isnt it just awful! The first time when I heard it, I had to ask the person to repeat it some 5 times before I understood what it was about.<br /><br />@Scarlett I dont like being referred to as babe or baby or babes by anyone!!! And usually I find it would be random people who do so.. who dont know you from adam and it really irks me!<br /><br />Whats worse than my bad.. ma bad!!! lol.<br /><br />@Gobri Dear, Darling, Babe..

I have exercised the 'unsubscribe' button more than once on FB because of this.<br />Though dis and dat are highly annoying, I fail to understand using 'mah' for 'my'. That has to be more difficult to type.<br />I can be hit with babe and keep a straight face, but what gets my goat is 'dear'.Gobrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133614158938691725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681312837094557550.post-7588873401173359602011-12-07T04:22:05.663+05:302011-12-07T04:22:05.663+05:30'Babe' is not intrusive, 'baby' is...'Babe' is not intrusive, 'baby' is, and only one person should be allowed to call you that at any given point of time :D<br /><br />@Mommie - I say 'my bad' as well.
