Give me my colonized rights back

Things I don't think I'll ever get used to (in order more or less):
Farenheit instead of Celcius.
Gallons instead of Litres.
Pounds instead of Kilograms.
Knowing how much a nickel is.
Knowing how much a dime is.
Hearing people say 'erbs' instead of 'H-erbs'.
Hearing people say 'r-ow-t' instead of 'r-oo-t' (for 'route' of course.)
Driving on the right hand side of the road.
Light switches being flipped down to mean you're putting them off.
Live plug points. Seriously?

It's a good thing I don't plan on living in this country forever. I'd almost always look confused. That's if I don't get run over or electrocuted first.
