Oh my goodness so many! Spellings. Why do we now see every British supermarket spelling yoghurt as yogurt. People saying the word movie when it should be film. People saying “can I get” in a coffee shop instead of “please may I have”. Upwards inflection is so annoying and cringe. And the American past participle of the word “get”. I never use get, I use other words like have, be, receive, acquire, etc instead. And worst of all, the dreaded word “like”, used as a sentence filler. I hate Americanisation and cultural infiltration of the American language upon the U.K. our language is slowly dying and it pains me

haaaa! that is hilarious because i was thinking the same about yoghurt! i don't understand it as surely companies want their product to look classier with the h. i think it stems from a belief that everything must be dumbed down.
have to disagree with movie/film though, as when someone is talking about films it allows the two words to be used alternately to spare the listener from repetition
All of them! Especially referring to a group of people as "guys", the phrase "my bad", "math", the entire concept of celebrating Halloween, period instead of full stop. I could go on!
