I grew-up with "chopliver"... which I loved, until I found out it was

My mother makes burgers with chop-meat... what that heck? Is that meat
from the jaw of the beast? I always say, "chopped-meat". <and look where
I put my damn period; *outside* the quotation mark>
My personal pet peeve is mostly a pronuciation issue. People rarely
misspell "nuclear", but you'd think they would, since it comes-out as
"nucular" (even when spoken by the US President!).
