Are you put off by the grammar in countries speaking your mother language?

Including "creative" uses employed in your own country

Like when a Hilton website puts "reservaciones", o you bump into some apparent Castillian hitting you with "Qué tan...".

It's not so much dialectal usages involving lexical variations, or even grammar oddities like the funny Argentinian verb endings like "querés" or "reservá", as much as something that seems to you like it's fucking up the whole system of your code...

I guess some first "obvious" instance in some English speakers would be "they're love" of funny use of the apostrophe...

lol idk

love of funny use of the apostrophe...

I meant general uses, not particular "idiocies"

Once again I have failed.

I can't quite follow the OP, but I definitely pick up on misused apostrophes. I also hate the misuse of "literally", sentences beginning with "so" and superfluous words such as in "he met with" instead of "he met" and "he got off of the sofa" instead of "he got off the sofa".

Aren't there any established Commonwealth grammar usages that seem odd or repellent to British brains?

I hate the overuse of the word "basically" - and in places where it is not needed in the first place.
I've heard it used up to three times in one long sentence.
For some reason TV chefs are the worst offenders.
"You basically peel the potatoes" followed by "Basically, you cut them into fríes shapes"

Not your post, the "chefs"... and those who are like them when mansplaining cooking.
