I really hate it when people use "babe" in place of "baby" in print and it's not clear whether they're pronouncing it like "babe" or "baby". Considering that nobody uses "babe" except when talking about a lover (and even then it's not necessarily the most common thing to here these days) so I can't help but assume that they really mean "baby" but are just blithering idiots.
