1) There is no right or wrong side of the road. .... ...

  If you were British, you would know that (1) is incorrect...

• The other little really annoing thing is in verbal communication - i.e. lack of understanding accents by some people who have no ability to comprehend little variations in accent.

For me it's English spelling that pxxses me off. Lets stick these letters the wrong way around, or stick a needless u in a word that doesn't need it. And people that insist English spelling is the "proper" one despite being a vastly smaller population and a country with much fewer connections to.

I don't force it on others, but the Oxford comma (or serial comma) is awesome!

  Most Commonwealth countries use British spelling rather than American spelling.  I feel more connections to the Commonwealth than the US.

I remember my High School Classical Studies teacher (also an English teacher) saying she wrote school reports using the 'z' spelling of the applicable words. When they were reviewed, she was told to change it to 's'. Of course she argued back by saying that UK English you should actually use the 'z'. But in the end she changed all to 's'. I googled later and found my teacher was correct.

  Huh?  In the UK you use s in organisation not z, same with recognise etc.  I was a sub editor there and also worked in a university, so I'm pretty sure of that.

When I say "A Big Mac, burger only" and they reply "Is that the combo?"

Or when I say "A Big Mac combo, medium, coke no ice" and they come back with "Is this a medium or large?"

Listen to me...

Try asking them for "A large fries only." And see if they ask, "Do ya want fries with that?"
