Is their anything about a foreign accent of what feels like YOUR language that really irritates you. Please share these. For starters, being British I am going to share my most hated americanisms!
Aluminium- Aloominum is just wrong.
Polystyrene- who even came up with styrofoam?
This is all made in jest: no offence intended.
Tbh, the farther you go inland in Australia, the more dumb and mispronounced everything is
Well, tbh, I did mean at present not originally. Kiwifruit just sounds better (and what idiot dreamed up the idea to call it 'kiwi'?).

Some bright soul realized that he did not have to add 'fruit' to the end, as it is obviously a fruit. After all, you don't call it an applefruit or a catanimal.
