AUS 301 quote:
"yes we get it, rain, dampen, your a bloody comedian just like the 1000 other reporters "
you're!!!! AGGHHHHH!!!!
Your vs You're also ****s me off....
Also calling things gay when they are clearly not happy or homosexual
at the weekend
How can something be at the weekend? It's not a place.
Also, said it before in another thread but getting then and than mixed up makes me feel stabby.
Aussies using the word "Dude" when referring to another person. 
most prevalent on the kite forums, lost identity I believe. US influence
Oh and Greenroom, in Aus its zed, not zee,
zee comes from US based malarkey they sprout on children's educational programs we put to air here in Aus.
Using "MP3" when you mean "music player".
As in:
I just put the song onto my MP3 and it wouldn't play!
Grrrr....
'virtual volume' as in "the boards volume is 140litres" but they fail to advertise anywhere in their brochures it's actual volume is only 90 litres. I suppose this is a virtual lie (or is that truth)
Also when someone uses 'ironic' when clearly it's not e.g. "Ran into Bob again today down the same street I ran into him last time. How ironic is that" ..... No that's just a coincidence.
People holding thumb and little finger to mimic a telephone and saying.
"I'll call you."
(They never do >>>>)
People who say "Do you want to ..." when they mean "Please ...."
I get genuinely confused.
A person in authority once asked me (paraphrased) "Do you want to get this job out of the way?". I said "No"... wrong answer.
When the coppers threaten to "breach" you. Now that is an unmistakable threat of physical violence in jargon free english.
Actually the one that really grates on me is the use of "unisex" in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). It's used to imply the inclusion of all sexes, but if you look at its roots, uni = one, it implies the exact opposite. Obviously "ambisex" or "omnisex" make much better sense.
See, that's why you need lawyers. If it wasn't for all the backwards words and quaint jargon of legalese you could understand this stuff yourself and have no need of them.
A document that tells you the rules & regs on how you have to 'build stuff'...(unless you can prove your way works too, and then that's OK) WTF?!?
) Vol 2. to my neighbour (a design engineer) to assist him in making some decisions about his renovations, he brought it back after 2 days saying that it was the most confusing thing he'd ever read, and he's an ENGINEER!!!
.....I thought it was just me!
When someone says "fitty" instead of "fifty"
As in " I got a fitty to chuck in mate " grrrrrr
This one's kind of silly but it annoys me no end when manufacturers, or maybe that should be marketers, give odd spellings to product names. KA Sails for example have a range of sails with names that naturally start with a "c" but they spell them with a "k" - kaos, kult, koncept and koyote. I suppose they think its cute and attractive. idk. Nice sails - dumb names. Starboard has done the same thing with the "kode" although that might be Swedish or German or something.
My teachers used to thrash me for that. "Vermin, take that" they would say as they pounded a wooden stake into my heart with self righteousness indignation. <whappety, whappety, whap>. And they were right. I am a better person or near-person for it. Just a little anxious about bad spelling and a little challenged in the cardiac department.
Oh 5h1+ ! having to use numbers instead of letters in words to avoid censorship !!
I also like the use of the word text to mean sms, it seems more natural.
Short message service sounds .... a little anal
