Being a network engineer, and having worked for an American company, it has been my curse to hear the word "router" pronounced "R-OW-TER" when it should be pronounced "ROO-TER".
Also, I hate American compound words - with my least favourite being "Webinar", which is a web-based seminar - which is really just watching a live streaming video of someone giving a presentation somewhere else.
And Americanisms like "blue sky thinking" (what the f*ck does this mean anyway?) and "touch base" (why can't they just say "work with" like everyone else?)

Some how its made episodes have annoying americanisms, the most annoying two are soddering and aloominum, but some episodes have an englishman narrating it properly.
But you darent say any of this in the youtube comments otherwise it starts a comments war.

it seems a bit like video editing to me, surely if you went to the bother of doing all that youd show a burn out
Me and the good lady wife were introduced to a couple of Americans (who were in their early 20's) about 4 years ago at a party......
I said to the girl that me and Mrs Welly liked to 'Eat Out' regularly but hadn't been able to in recent times........an awkward air of silence descended as the translation dawned.......

PMSL!
Americans just about die if they hear a British person say they're "dying for a fag".
