Good one. My wife does this a lot as well. She also uses "he" and "she" indisciminately, and even though she speaks so quietly that I often not can hear what she says, she is frightened that my landlord or my neighbours will hear her talking about them so will not refer to them by name, leaving me to sort out who the hell she's talking about.
Verb tenses are another one, as the article points out. "You eat?" The first year of our relationship I had no idea if this meant "have you eaten?" or "would you like to eat?". Now she asks me "hungry?" which is a great deal less ambiguous.
