Personally, as long as the idiom and spellings are appropriate to the setting then I have no problem with whatever is used.
The one thing that does annoy me is where idiom is used inappropriately. For example, I read a book fairly recently where a British character in London said something like "Walk for two blocks then take a left" when asked for directions. The concept of 'blocks' is entirely foreign to us in the UK and nobody would ever say something like that.
