Some of your peeves are from different accents found all over the country... Around here, most everyone says it the way you don't like. :p
Creek vs. Crick :p

No. And accent is an accent, and there are a lot of them in this country. A mispronunciation is a mispronunciation. Two entirely different things.
Crick can be considered an alternative pronunciation of creek, which is related to "accents" as it concerns the pronunciation of the vowel, which is a component of the differences in accents. What I listed are mispronunciations, not alternative pronunciations, nor differing accents. They're mispronunciations. They're also not restricted to any particular region. They're mispronounced everywhere.
BTW, I used to say crick when I was a little kid. It's common in this area.
/shrugs/ don't ever come to the south then, otherwise you will want to strangle many, many people.
You say Potatoe, I say Tator.
Tater* :p LOL
