Turn Ons/Offs:
the way Americans say 'carmelise' instead of 'caramelise'when they talk about browning the sugars in food....I mean...they spell it incorrectly with a 'z' - caramelize - but I can handle that, because they don't know how to spell English correctly, but then they also forget to say the 'ra' bit.... it just annoys me, haha
