"Ax" is dialect, not a mistake. Chaucer used it.

I admit that this one is a little anal on my part, but I hate when people mispronounce adjective as ah-jah-div. It's ad-ject-ive. It has a C and a T.

Now I can sleep.

I've never heard this one. Are you sure they're not saying "agita"? Sounds like that's what they're giving you.

Okay, listen up people.

It's *supposed to* not suppose to. Got it? Good.

I'll forgive most mistakes if everyone promises to use "you're" and "your" correctly and stop confusing plural with possessive. Please.

Oh dear! Where do we begin with this poster?

STFU! (okay)
No, seriously. (an incomplete sentence; first word not capitalized; no comma after no)
Really? (no capitalization)
Not that I say it that often....(no capitalization; an elipse consists of three periods. it does not appear you were trying to using an elipse and then a period to end the sentence.
Nor do I write it that often, but still. (no capitalization; comma between two separate thoughts)

Library is not a Liberry.

I actually heard a well educated parent at my DC's school say this recently and had to restrain myself from correcting her.

My 8 year old nephew said it just this afternoon and yes, I corrected him.

I think the joke is funny! I bet you and the other students remembered the lesson well. Perfect for a bunch of smart-ass high schoolers!

I told my high schooler a few years back: "The table is for glasses, not for asses." She cracked up, scooted off and never sat on our kitchen table again.

"Have a good one!"

This is the new "thing" apparently, and I hate it.

Why not just say, "Have a good day!"

Ugh.
