It bugs me when people say I spell things wrong because I use the British version.:
Colour for Color
Favourite for Favorite
Centre for Center
And so on. Excuse me for being British.
Also, I dislike it when people don't use apostrophes in the right place and they use them wrong.
Its - Possesive, It's - It is
Dont for Don't
Cant for Can't
Isnt for Isn't.
And so on.

Having lived in Britain for a while, I've been known to use both the American and British spellings for all kinds of words, even in the same essay. Then my instructor will dock points from my paper for it. I wrote on the paper, "Just because I don't always choose the Americanisation of a word doesn't make it wrong," before I handed it back to him. Then he had the nerve to argue with my spelling of "Americanisation," saying it should be spelled with a "z" instead. He missed the whole point.
A side not on the aforementioned word: should Americans not allow it to be spelled with an "s" instead, as it is a term not invented by them and is generally not used by them, but by the rest of the world? I suppose not.
And I tend to use the spelling "theatre" instead of "theater," even though Firefox will never cease to disagree with me.

Theatre is for plays, and theater is for films.
Can someone settle an argument for me?
I am very convinced that the shortened version of "until" is "'til" as opposed to "till." "Till" is a farming term... At least that's what I think it is.

I prefer to use the British version of multiple words as well.
Especially "colour" and "theatre."
I despise it when people spell "sexy" as "sexi" and "pretty" as "pritty."
