It's "toe the line," people

Please use "there," "their" and "they're" correctly.

Please do not insert "the" before a disease. "I got the diabetes."

Awesome is a very strong word but has been diluted by people who describe everything as "awesome."

I picked up the paper -- "awesome"

I sneezed - "awesome"

I turned the baby over - "awesome"

I am walking down the street - "awesome"

None of these simple actions is awesome.

Nor are they amaze-balls.

This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.

If you're making a joke, I don't know what you're laughing at. There's not much here to make fun of.

Not the PP, but "this is the sort of impertinence up with which I will not put."

You have shouted your ignorance, PP, one of the world's most important politicians/historians wrote this in the margin of book to his proofreader

Wrong. These are both legit phrases. "Flesh out" means to add detail; "flush out" means force to break cover. You flesh out the lies you make up for the cops; you flush out your enemies by throwing a grenade into their hiding place, whereupon you shoot them.

"That's a whole other..." or "that's another..." .
Not "that's a whole nother ..."

I also cringe at "I have a friend of mine..."

Some of these aren't grammar mistakes, they are colloquialisms.

No people. She went to the mall with Larla and ME! ME! ME!

Just ask Larla or myself if that is correct!

Nope. Ask Larla or me. You would never say to someone "ask myself" anything.

And you play a role, not a roll. Unless you enjoy impersonating bread.

This is my weakness. I don't know when it's appropriate to use 'Katie and I' vs 'Katie and me' vs 'I/me and Katie.'

Take away the other person. "Katie and me went to the mall." WRONG. If Katie didn't go to the mall with you, but you still went, you would say "I went to the mall," not "Me went to the mall." On the other hand, if you said, "That was a really good experience for Katie and I" take away Katie. "That was a really good experience for me"... NOT "I." "I" is usually when you are the direct object.

You did for me, what no one else could do. Help me understand, that is. I hope I can remember it.

First, "irregardless" is not a word (although I'm now doubting myself because my auto-fill just finished typing it for me!)

I think the word is a mix between "regardless" and "irrespective."

Second, apple's slogan, "Think different" used to drive me insane--it's not correct, is it? (The point was to not be correct, right?)

But Merriam-Webster suggests using regardless, according to your link!
