MY MOM SAYS DATSUN AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO SHOOT HER.
When I correct her she goes "I'm not German"
"yes, I know you're not german, I thought you weren't illiterate either..."
I guess with some breeds, like Keeshond or people pronouncing a French name with an American pronunciation or something, doesn't really bother me. It doesn't bother me if people who don't own the breed say it wrong, at least they know what it IS.
And as far as spelling and stuff...it depends on area and upbringing, too. If I go into Spanish Harlem and someone's talking about their rockwiler...whatever. If it's taken care of, I'm glad they can spell "dog" and are able to afford to feed to it and managed to get a basic education on dog care in a place where education isn't that easy to come by.
If you're a surgeon on Long Island and you're telling me about how your wife breed datsuns, I will want to throw up on you.
