- Emails that lack proper grammar and capitalization.
- Friends who take long cell phone calls while we're hanging out.

Baby talk among adults is a definite no-no in my book, but what about calling your significant other by a name no one else does? The nickname can be as simple as "sweetie" or as creative as "schmooky pie."
It can be conforming and natural to use a name that expresses affection for your significant other, as long as people around you don't find the constant assertion of endearment annoying.
