Use a decoy. Be there, but don't be seen. Do not...I repeat, do not compromise on the element of surprise. When she least expects it, let the decoys hit her with it...then follow up to strengthen your position. Good luck.

That's quite difficult. Be careful so as not to enter her bad book.

I have this suggestion. Try to make friend with her. Later stylishly inform her that you dont mind her suggestions/corrections on matters. Then after much space of time have passed, tell her you too have a suggestion. Then respectfully bring the matter of those visitors up and point to her wrong pronunciation.

This is actually one of the hardest thing to do at a workplace: correcting your superiors.

Believe you me, no superior wants to take a correction from a subordinate(unless your relationship is beyond formal), so thinking about correcting her might be like you stepping into an old minefield. I would advise that you take a critical and an unbiased look at your relationship with her. If you think she can withstand this psychological blow you're about to deal her(because bruising a person's ego is more of a mental situation than it is physical), then go ahead with it. But if not, please leave her be, so long as it doesn't affect her performance at other areas of her duties as a boss.
Besides, I believe it's tied to the location she grew up in(I've heard several Deltans say moRRing, shanje instead of change -no pun intended- and you can't really blame them for it), plus people from Delta have a knack for being volatile when you try to belittle or rubbish them. cheesy
So thread prudently.

I think you should buy a new sim, make sure you don't register the sim with your name. you can as well buy registered Sims. guess you've know her number, just try and send your corrections to her through SMS. act in your SMS as one of your customers, letting her know the gravity her mistake is costing business /company. send the message to her and throw the sim somewhere.
