I hear that! My mother told me once that she couldn't "decyphen" what my sisters and I were talking about. I stopped her mid sentence and asked her if she was aware that she just fabricated a word.
Decyphen - verb - the act of putting gas back in the tank after you've sucked it out through a hose.
In high school I would hear the phrase "can i axe you a question", I would literally walk to the front of the class and write the words "ask" and "axe" and talk about what each meant, using them in a sentence to clear up any confusion. Man that one really grinds my gears.
Mentally correcting people's pronunciation ALL THE TIME.
