"you're" not "your" for you are. My son's Kindergarten teacher made this mistake in the first paragraph of her first letter of the year to parents. Ahh, socialized education.

edit - DOH, Neil beat me to it.

But Neil, I disagree - "could care less" has no meaning and no appropriate use. Much like irregardless.

Your - possessive

You're - contraction of you are

Snowboards - plural of snowboard

Snowboard's - contraction of snowboard is

Also, I would venture to say that "snowboard's" could be a possessive, for example, "snowboard's topsheet" meaning the topsheet that the snowboard has.

Could care less - means you care at least a little but you probably meant to say:

Couldn't care less - the least possible amount of caring for something

That one is really really annoying.

People in glass houses sink sh... sh... sh... ships.

random, I know.

great scene from Boondock Saints (another great boston film)

Doc: You know what they say: People in glass houses sink sh... sh... sh... ships.

Rocco: I got to buy you a proverb book or something, because this mix 'n' match ****'s got to go.

Doc: What?

Connor: Well, a penny saved is worth two in the bush, isn't it?

Murphy: And don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen.

"literally" is not an adjective to add emphasis - it means what you are saying, which is usually a metaphor, actually happened in the literal sense.

"She was literally torn in half by her decision" means that her body was in two pieces, meaning she's dead, Jim. You meant to say "she was figuratively torn in half", or just "she was torn in half" and we all infer the metaphor.

No, it's both inflammable and flammable! !

Nope! Is it not kinda like saying " I don't know nothing" which equates to multiplying a negative number by a negative number and getting a positive which in the quote says you know something.

Or should l I just ask you "do you know of any substance that is inflammable that is not flammable?"

I know you could prolly really care less.

The president of this company is famous for mixing and matching phrases. Stuff like, "that's gonna blow up like a Christmas tree," and "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it."

I think they must teach that in a seminar or something... I have had two superiors that have done that. The first time it was funny, the second it was an eye roller.

This was at to different companies (sorry, couldn't resist).
