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.

Well, I have heard folks there use the terms mauka and makai, which I believe mean towards the mountain and towards the sea, respectively, though I may have that flipped. It's been a while.
