1. When British people put 'er' on the end of words that end in an 'a' like China, Australia, et cetera. 
2. Warsh
3. When people use 'your' when it should be 'you're' and vice versa.
4. Southern accents.
3. North Eastern Accents.
5. Lisps.
6. Sever stuttering.
7. And several other things.

My old physics teacher was English and she'd always say "idears, god it was so annoying. I love English accents though.

i love english accents too. it seems like everyone hates how americans talk.  >.< my english teacher overpronounces the 'wh' in words like  cool whip.

My English teacher in High School (Phd) pronounced the letter H with emphasis saying "Whhhey", "Whhhat" and "Whhhen" etc... It became rather funny and annoying over time depending on how she used them.

LCK

1. Fucking Brooklyn accents
2.When people cannot comprehend the simple differences between "your and you're, and two, too, and to and there, they're and their."
3.My 8th grade English teacher who pronounced "Day" as "Dee".  Mondee, Tuesdee, Wednesdee, Thursdee, Fridee. Christ, I wanted to slap her.
4."Murder, Moyda" Things to that extent, that's really the best I can explain it.
5.People who talk faster than they can think, and eventually their words become absolute gibberish and they look like fucking idiots.
6.People who over use onomatopoeic words.
