[inevitableentresol]

It's perfectly valid criticism. I agree, it's even worse when it's dialogue. I can just about take it in narrative, especially if who the POV character is a bit wonky to start with.

I can understand that writers just want to have fun, but they've got to also understand how jarring it is to readers. It can spoil enjoyment of an otherwise excellent fic.

The OP put it exactly: it's not jarring when it's not your own country/culture someone got wrong. Then you're thinking - what's the big deal? As soon as it's your own country/culture that the writer makes basic, easily googleable errors with, then it's incredibly distracting.
