This is how I imagine it’s still done. Some things never change.
Undeserved nonsensical insult
Me: I feel like Jesus and me would’ve been great friends.
GF: Why’s that?
Me: The whole water into wine thing. The man had his choice of first miracles and went with turning water into wine. Shows good taste. Discernment. Judgment. Refinement, even. Had his priorities straight. He could have cured cancer. He could have ended world hunger. He could have brought eternal peace to the world. He could have sent the first chimp into space. But he went with wine.
GF: You are absolutely the stupidest person I have ever met, you do realize that?

Just a few of the vast majority of grammar errors on the Internet
Tell my old boss that Irregardless is not a word; In Tennessee it is:) I never corrected him until my last day at work.
My current boss will write ‘Marquis’, when he is meaning ‘Marquee’; as in major clients.
A good dictionary would disabuse whoever put this list together of the notion that #3 is always correct (literally is an intensifier with a clear lineage of non-literal usage for the last 200 years) and that #8 is at all correct (both affect and effect are verbs and nouns, but I know what you thought you were saying). Also, who’s to say that I don’t know what nonplus means? I’m pretty sure I do.
All I can say is that I’m glad yahoo is going to come in and clean up this kind of thing.

If there’s one thing guaranteed to attract my interest in any picture, it’s the Schlitz logo. Don’t you dare judge me.

Well, that’s pretty awesome. Old machines need love too—especially engines that sound like they run on a mixture of gasoline, hope, and impossibility. Seriously—I love the sound of a hit and miss engine in action.

All I can say is keep ‘em good and greased up. Actually, that’s my advice about a surprising number of things…
