A minor annoyance in my life is my Google homepage. When you are in Switzerland, even if you type google.com you will automatically be redirected to the Swiss site, google.ch. That in itself is not a big deal but it gives me a default language of German. Maybe I should be trying to do more in German-- that may be true-- but most of the time when I search I am looking for English language material and don't want to be directed to the German Wikipedia, for example. Sometimes I will leave the language as German, other times after searching I will curse and change it to English. When you go to "Preferences" to change the language you have many, many choices that I bet most have you never seen or contemplated. Right in the middle of my path to change between Deutsch and Englisch lies "Elmer Fudd." Sometimes when "I'm Feewing Wucky" I change it to Elmer Fudd. Try it sometime and see what you get. The "Wesuwts" may surprise you. Wemembew, Google's defauwt (10 wesuwts) prowides de fastest wesuwts-- wike dat waskely wabbit! There are some other fun ones in there (remember the Swedish Chef from the Muppets?), but I'll let you discover those. Ewmew Fudd is still my favowite.
