new pet peeve just dropped
people verbally abbreviating words that start with 'W'
because 90% of the time, the 'abbreviation' is LONGER
for example:
"world record" 3 syllables
"wr" 4 syllables ("double-you-are")
makes me so mad

An even worse example of this is “world wide web” (3 syllables) which gets abbreviated to “double u double double u” (nine syllables).
