Google demanding I flag yellow cars when asked to flag taxis is the silliest Americanism I've seen. At least the school bus has SCHOOL BUS written all over it and fire hydrants aren't exactly an American exclusive thing.

On some Russian and Asian site I ran into trouble signing up for a forum using translation software because the CAPTCHA requires me to enter characters I couldn't read or reproduce. It doesn't happen as often as the Google thing, but the problem certainly isn't restricted to American sites!
