- OS X's icons and labels for modifier keys
- Creating folders in the OS X Finder (what did I mean here?)
- Rudder pedals on aircraft. Why is it the opposite of "dance steps"?
- power windows on an Aston Martin Vantage (sorry, Blade)
- Auto-correct and word completion on iPhones and Android phones. Why a space after the word? Why so many word suggestion modes on Android? Why no sensitivity setting?
- Eclipse, Visual Studio, X-code and IDEA (what did I mean when I typed this?)
- completeness of an interface (set a value, query a value)
- making Mrs. Meyers's cleaning solution from concentrate
- reporting gains in stock markets as "points" rather than a % gain/loss
- Why do we have its and it's? We do not need "its". This distinction isn't replicated for any pronoun or proper noun, and complicates phone typing like mad.
- use of control as a command key in Windows. Use of \ as a directory separator.
- Tons/tonnes, long/short, metric/imperial. Especially as regards ships
