No, doesn't bother me at all. I would get more entertainment from it then anything else. As for mispelling names, well since I have never been to 'ohanas I am not guilty (as of yet); however, it would not bother me half as much as when my coworker says "you was ..."

Donald Duck Ride
Epcot Ball Ride
Crunchy Bears
The rest of the rides he does a pretty good job with! AND he knows the difference between all 4 parks...we're such proud parents.
He also eats with "pork-chops" aka chop-sticks at Japan.
These are great! If you scrap book, you should have these are your captions!
I cannot think of anything right now, but I am going to pay attention our next trip to see if we call anything by the wrong name... though I cannot think of any that we do.

I don't get that bothered but I'm not that die hard of a fan either. My DH would say differently. Of course, it took me forever to get Disneyland & Disney World correct in my head.
My kids are forever mixing names up or coming up with some totally different version of it. Sometimes they just stick and that ends up being the name the attraction, etc... is called. My DH kept calling the Contemporary "the garage" last time. So, now basically we call it the garage.

I cringe when I hear/read the Mt. Everest ride. Then there is The Railroad. Which railroad? Also, we were in line to get a photo taken by a photopass photographer and once someone asked us if we were in line for fastpass. I didn't know how to answer at first.

I started going to WDW in the 1970's. TTA will ALWAYS be the People Mover to us, for nostalgic reasons. And the whole "Disney = MK" thing? That comes from people who visited pre-Epcot. My family called the MK "Disney" for years because that's all there was at Disney World.
We too make up names for the rides based on our kids. The only ones I can think of are "Goofy's Plane"... the "Donald and the Hat movie"... nerd that I am, I'm trying to teach my kids the correct names of the rides. We'll see how well that goes in 59 days...

I didn't think this bothered me either. Until last Saturday when I watched a repeat of the What you get for the money Walt Disney World episode on FLN. One of the host families had 3 boys and when asked what they wanted to ride, the middle son said he "couldn't wait to ride Mount Everest". I immediately corrected him... like he could hear me talking to the television! That's when I realized maybe it does bother me a little bit!

So to OP,.. I am not one to really get angry about it, but I am "that" person who finds it to be my life's personal mission to tell people what it really is and correct them. Yeah I know....

My mother while on a Disney vacation called me after dinner at Le Celliers to let me know how much she loved the meal at "Le Cellars!" I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. Now we always call Le Cellier "The Basement" at our house after that.

I've heard attractions called by the wrong name but it doesn't bother me in the least.
If fact I always say "Small World" and "the boat ride in Norway"
