Tap instead of click.
App instead of program.
Fewer instead of less (even though more has no equivalent).
Slowed up instead of slowed down (slow is less speed, so must be

hello.
Bothering to distinguish between burned and burnt.
Forward instead of forwards.

Listen up and park up instead of listen and park

Visitation instead of visit.

That damned yankee phrase I cant think of for the moment.

Cayn't get theyah from heeyah.
Nar, not that one. Said when telling someone to do something
immediately. Still cant think of it but that's just my dyslexia.

"on the qt". ??????
as in on the quicktime

Nope, just two words instead of just one. Very common with yanks.

Finally...

Using "go ahead" instead of leaving both words out when
saying something like "go ahead and order the new car" etc

"Now what you're gonna want to do is press this button" instead of "press this button".
