I know most of these, as do most members.
But my prose here is the type of communication I use with friends or family (not Mom).
It's informal, so, I'm a bit lazy about proof reading, and sometimes use one of these wrong.
Not to mention my spell check.
Every single time I type Glock, it gives Glick.
The darn thing will change a properly spelled word into something I don't think is a word.
All to say, I consider this a conservation with friends.
I don't want to screw with you all by using bad grammar,
but as friends, I would expect some slack. Or, ball busting if it's funny.
If you take it serious,
sorry,
But GFY!

So...is it break dancing or brake dancing? they might crack a bone but they don't slow down much.

Those, too.
But we're wasting our time. The ones who misuse all those words think it doesn't matter, and that we're being grammar Nazis because we believe that how you use language reflects upon your intelligence. Well, of course it does.

You'd feel it if I was putting an effort into it. You bore me. I have no doubt you’ve been bored many times.

I and me are always butchered. I seldom see them used correctly in prepositional phrases. Al came to the game with my wife and I. W R O N G!!! Al came to the game with my wife and ME... Correct...

How many know the definition of these two words? Raise your hand. If you neglect to use the brake then there is a middling to fair chance you will break the car.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

When I was billing trucks at the packing plant, one of the guys (really nice guy) in traffic would always ask me to hand him that "vanilla" folder. When someone left a poisonous cloud behind in the can, he would always ask the world in general why people didn't spray with that "itemizer" when they were done.
