Whew. 
Guess this is just another example of a joke flying way the hell over my head. Jokes do that to me so often, I have my own airspace.

^Well, I wasn't going to say, but...............yeah. 
Well, I think it sounds silly to put an "o" in the middle of airplane.
When everyone knows it's actually Staaaaar Track.
Hah. You do better than a lot of people who speak English as their first language.Touche!I have to admit that I regularly have to look the latter pair up in a dictionary, having an unfortunate tendency to confuse them. You may have noticed that I take great pains to avoid either in my posts. Fortunately, the English language offers quite a few alternatives
(make less tight, unbind / misplace, mislay)
Nice. "Without further adieu" cracks me up. Sounds like something Dr. Smith would say.That award would definitely go to "wreck havoc" as far as I'm concerned.
Both of those are eggcorns. Others include one in the same instead of one and the same, shoe-in instead of shoo-in, free reign instead of free rein (that one in particular gives me a bug up my ass) and without further adieu instead of without further ado.
"We have to plan for the next physical year."
This thread just turned into things I find really annoying.
Firstable sounds like something Tigger would say

I propose we define firstable as any internet posting that has a comments section.
Whenever I see that, I want to say, "Good. I hate long goodbyes."
"The proof is in the pudding".
No, dumbass, the proof OF the pudding IS IN THE EATING.

^Heh. That reminds me of The Statue of Limitations (instead of statute of limitations). It always makes me think that the Statue of Liberty has an evil twin somewhere. Maybe all the tourists who hate freedom go to visit the Statue of Limitations.
Here's something harmless that really does amuse me (in a good way): The puns spoken by the Crypt Keeper.
"Hello, BOILS and GHOULS! Ready for your next DEAD-time story? I really like this DIE-rector, he even gave me a SCREAM test!"
"Hello, BOILS and GHOULS! Ready for your next DEAD-time story? I really like this DIE-rector, he even gave me a SCREAM test!"
Or a certain BBSer who commented on the subject of "statuary rape."
I mean, I've heard of fetishes, but this is ridiculous.
Be honest; that's all you, right?

Oh.....dear.
That reminds me of a fan fic writer who sent me a story to proof read. The scene involved a character entering a room and being shocked by the large number bowls that covered a dinning room table---only she misspelled it as "bowels."
I wrote back, "EWW! I'd be pretty damn shocked at that, too!"
"Pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip!"
I find this "I'm loving it" McDonalds ad highly annoying. It's grammatically wrong. "I am loving" means I do it only now, this very moment, and shall stop in a second. That message is surely not the ad's intention. Gramatically correct (or is it "correctly"? I'm never sure), it must be "I love it".
At first I thought it was only a grammatical mistake by the German branch of McD. It was quite traumatic to find the same (utterly wrong) slogan on British McD posters.
I've also seen the spelling "Americen" (exclusively used by Americans, interestingly)^You spoke "American"
