I can live with the author writing in his/her own "language." But if a British author is writing a story set in the US, with US characters, he/she should write in US style and vice versa.
As for improper word choice/usage, ones that drive me nuts (or at least more nuts) include:
your/you're - Your is possessive, You're = You Are a contraction
to/too/two - Too is similar to Also. Two is a number.
In spoken - Can/May - When a person asks, "Can I help you?" I normally respond with, "I don't know, CAN you?"
