People advertising LED lamps as using 80% or something less energy with people failing to realise that they are comparing it to incandescent and not understanding that fluorescent and CFL ect *Already* uses 80-odd percent less energy than incandescent!

Really pisses me off when people refer to lamps as "light bulbs".... they are lamps, not bulbs!

Fluorescent lights being called strip lights

Bits of differences in the 'English language' between countries...
Both of these two are the normal names for said items here!

The term "fixture" bugs me too tbh. I prefer fitting or luminaire ect.
