Her name is Elizabeth. Many people call her Beth. Nobody, if they know what's good for them, dares call her Bet.
Ted, her partner for quite some years, knew she hated it, but still sometimes he slipped it in. He knew it niggled at her but simply did it to get a rise out of her.
Beth complained when he first started to do it. Now she just lets it pass most of the time without reaction. Except for when he pushes too hard and goes a bit overboard. Then she calls him by his much-hated given name.
Teddelson.
