Ok, so where did dethaw come from? Thaw, defrost, i get those, but why would you take something out of the freezer to dethaw it? First time i heard that i thought the person was just messing with me. I got a very puzzled look, when i guffawed.

Generally little things don't bother me. One comment which drives me nuts though is "I could care less."
There are a lot of things that I could care less about; doing a good job, taking care of my health, keeping my bills paid...
Things which I couldn't care less about are things which I try to avoid.

One I use in reports is proscribed, people think it is a typo but it isn't.

The not variation jabs me in the eye like a red hot poker right through several layers of safety glasses and face shields.

Dethaw would be properly rendered as de-thaw. De-thaw then means proper thawing is a 2 step process. First you thaw then you repeat the process to make sure the action is complete.

Reminds me when working for he Navy, they issued a writing manual called "Plain English". It was an attempt to get rid of government-ease. See another hyphened solution to a cumbersome word. I think I still have a copy somewhere as I used it a lot over the years especially when I was developing construction specifications.
