Americans using the term 'on accident' instead of 'by accident'. Differences between British and American English don't usually bother me but this annoys me to an insanely irrational level.
I didn't even realise Americans used the phrase like that until the podcast explosion happened and now I seem to hear it all the bloody time.
A subtle Americanism that riles me up is "if I would have" instead of "if I had", like "if I would have been a millionaire, I would have paid for my dad's holiday"
