Pet peeve time.
One of my biggest irritations in life is when people call me 'Christine.' My name is Christina. With an A. Chris-tin-a. It's not hard. At least, it doesn't seem hard. I've definitely had so many people introduce me as 'Christine' seconds after I've stated my name that I've started to despair at the state of human intelligence. So many people manage to get it wrong that for most of my life, I've just gone by 'Chris.' Simpler, easier to remember, harder to foul up.
Today, TWO of my coworkers referred to me in communications to clients as 'Christine.' TWO.
