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.

Oh, 'inbound' and 'outbound' in the case of Boston (from any direction), given that the major roads are disposed in a wheel-spoke pattern. And in Vancouver (the real Vancouver, not that piddly-assed Columbian version), way too many busses simply announce themselves as 'downtown' without clear explication of route.
