Today, people in general.
More specifically, people who say
"Can I get....?" when they mean "Can I have....?" (or more properly "May I have....?" - the Americanism out-ranks the other grammatical error).
"defeat to" when they mean "defeat by" or "loss to".
"holiday to" when they mean "holiday in" or "trip to".
"I'm loving it".
"between ... to ..." when they mean "between ... and ...".
Will you back me up if I go and murder all of them? Please???
And don't get me started on "breath" (breathe!!!) and "chaff" or "chaffing" - the offenders can live another day. But I'll be back!
Yes, I'm having a very bad day.

Drivers who don't stop at red lights
There's a pub across the road from my office, who, on Thursdays, have Quiz Night's. I am so tempted to put tippex on their window.
I'll hold your coat Swerve.
Disgruntled FLM rejects of the world unite!
(or should that be "reject's"?)
Swerve, don't mind cyclists if they slow down & only do it when no pedestrians or cars are crossing.
Admit it!!!
I'll go abuse drivers somewhere else then.
Can I just slag off old people before I go?
;-)
Anyway, got to go and straighten my poppy and get some new batteries for my anal stickler. Thanks all for humouring me.

and nucelar - its nuclear you tossers!!

I think that American TV is evil. I know people who, having never been to an English speaking country before, speak English with an American accent because of TV. And they use American expressions instead of English ones. Even in Norway, people are starting to use American style (sexual) swear words, instead of the traditional Scandinavian ones (nicknames for the devil, etc.). Imagine!
there's a scene at the begining of Vanilla Sky (a film I've finally got round to watching and quite enjoyed, especially the lovely Penelope Cruz) when Tom Teeth is driving through New York and there's nobody else around. God! I'd love a few days like that.
