Two= 2.

To= "I'm going to the store."

Too= "Can I come, too?"

Too= "Can I come, too?"

MAY I come too?

Now I see why you and Erica get along so well!

No.

Outstanding!
This is my kind of humor.

"Can I come?" = Am I capable?
"May I come?" = Do I have permission?

Example:
{PADI.OW} May I dive?
yes
{PADI.OW} Can I dive?
maybe

Ooh-may I add some of my other favorites?

"All right" is 2 (two) words. "Are you feeling all right?"
"Where you're at," "where you at?", etcetera.... In fact, ending any sentence with a preposition spins me into schoolmarm mode. Where's my red pencil? "Just checking to see where you are. Looking for as many people as possible with whom to dive." (Crap-did I just use "whom" wrong?)
"A lot" is 2 (two) words. "There are a lot of fish out there."
"Their" is a possessive. "They're" means "they are." "There" refers to a place. "Their boat is just over there. They're bringing it over now."
"It's" is a contraction of "it is." "Its" is a possessive. "Its dorsal fin is huge! It's at least 2 feet high."

That's what I get for staring at computer code all morning....

As a hardcore texter, txt msg shorthand is OK with me. It's the basic usage errors of the English language that drive me crazy.

A'ight?

Apostrophes. My pet peeve is people who can't use them properly, be it "it's," vs. "its", or just simple misuse to form plurals. Screw that one up, and it's hard to get me to flip off the "bozo" bit in my brain.

Me fail English? Unpossible.

Awesome. Just awesome. Sent me running to Wiktionary to look up a Simpson's word. I'm embiggened by your cromulence.

Damn! Blew a snot bubble I laughed so hard!

Affects have effects.

Two, to, too true!

principals who have principles.

Here's (Here is) one (1) I hear (not here) everyday:

Go AXE the C/O (Officer) where da (the?) Libary is......... as if the C/O was POSED to know (not no).

Do you work in a "state institution" Pez?

There is no R in Washington.

The word 'February' has two Rs.

There is no R in my last name, either, even though my dad used to pronounce it with one

How about taut and taunt?

Taut: as in a rope that is stretched tightly

Taunt: to tease and egg on

My wife used to pronounce pecan -> Pe-Can
so my dad threatened to stand up during our wedding and ask if its
pe-can or pa-con
her response is, "it's not pronounced Con-a-da"
then I called her a Yankee

I'm proud to say we broke her of the habit.
