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 have wanted to pour over a pile of Real Simples. Specifically, pour over gasoline, followed by a match.

He's writing phonetically. (Somewhere in his brain he knows it's "have.") I knew someone who wrote "next store" instead of "next door."

I wish my weight were loose, then it would be easier to lose. My problem is that it's too tight!

If you spent the day with your nose in a pile of Real Simples, you "pored" over them. Not "poured".
If you dress with panache you have "flair". Your outdated jeans may end in a "flare".
I see these mistakes in print all the time.

Didn't mean anything by that second joke, by the way. It's just another HS joke--I don't mean to be nasty.

If you're making a joke, I don't know what you're laughing at. There's not much here to make fun of.
Oh wait--I see what you did there. Cute.

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

It's a reference to a joke my HS English teacher told. It was about taking the "don't end a sentence with a preposition" idea too seriously.
Here's another one.
Guy #1: "Good to meet you. Where are you from?"
Guy #2: "I am from a place where we learned not to end our sentences with prepositions."
Guy #1: "Oh, I'm sorry. Let me rephrase. Where are you from, asshole?"
