I was also taught to be offended. If you hear how rude it is (or not nice in little kid speak) not to say "excuse me" you learn to get offended--someone is being mean to you, therefore it is offensive. At least that is how my family is.
I always say excuse me if passing someone. If I pass someone in an aisle and I walk in front of what they are looking at, I also say "excuse me". If I am with another person, I always say "excuse us"
And for the missourEE and missourAH thing-- I would agree with Dionysus. I say EE, my mom says AH--- my argument to my mom regarding the pronunciation-- my name is WendI --pronounced WendEE not WendAH!!! She doesn't buy my argument!!
