What bugs me more is having American characters use or think in British expressions. If they were British characters, it wouldn't bug me, but, as we all know, some expressions are dependent on culture. Americans don't use expressions like "mind the gap" or "doorstepping" and most of us don't know what the hell that means. Though, the whole 's' instead of 'z' thing just looks *wrong* to my American eyes.
The others don't bug me as much--probably all that time spent reading Brit Lit and studying other foriegn languages.
