My level of annoyance is irrationally high over Americans who insist on using the British spelling of certain words. Like behaviour, colour, favourite, and shoppe.
It's not THAT big of a deal and no one gets hurt from it, but I find it so maddening and obnoxious. Why? Because it is just trying too hard. Trying too hard to be different, to appear cultured and sophisticated. It's too fucking quaint. Maybe I find it annoying because, to a small, harmless extent, it's cultural appropriation. If that's how you grew up spelling certain words, then fine, we have no beef. But if you're doing it just to look cooler than everyone else, then you're akin to a hipster in my mind. And I fucking hate hipsters.

Nothing cooler than hipsters. Except maybe people who hate hipsters.
