Who else gets slightly annoyed when people don't use the correct map-relative direction (up->north, down->south, over->east/west) when talking about large-scale geography? From Seattle I can head up to Vancouver, down to Portland, or over to Spokane. Period.

Also, in the US, it's "out" West and "back" East. Not sure about Canada.

Unless you're in Maine, where it's "down east".
