minor things that make you fume

Golborne! I grew up in Abram just down the road. You can't get more proper nurthern than Abram & Golborne.

FWIW The Red Lion is (or was, 30 years ago when I was last there) a nice little pub on the Leeds-Liverpool canal just as you enter Abram.
it's the Dover Lock that's right on the canal, the Red Lion in Golborne is on a junction with a mini roundabout... or was it's now flats. My mates Dad had it around then (Paddy).
 

I am rapidly losing the ability to tolerate poor spelling and grammar.

"Would of" instead of "would have" appears to be widespread throughout the internet, and is particularly wince-inducing. The usual suspects also make my toes curl:

Are / our confusion;

There / their / they're confusion;

Less / fewer confusion...

What irks me the most is that when I got these wrong as a kid I was corrected by my parents and my teachers. I wanted to get it right in future so I made sure to learn the correct form. Many people now don't seem to care, and I find that somewhat depressing.
Slang gets on my nerves a bit now. I’ve been playing a lot of games online lately and Americans are terrible for it. They speak another language to me.

“No cap we bussin” means “no lie we good” or something. Why not just say that then? This is from teenagers up right up to people in their thirties.

"No cap we bussin" you should reply with "Get yourself a car and some decent headgear then you little Illinois scruff yer ma drinks a pint of golden" get into their heads. Have it.
