Got one more there. (Or was it deliberate?)

Cosmo is the Demigod of Clowns and Mimes, so normal people seem "weird" to him.

You've got three "weird" -- you only changed two.

What's really bad... I really like Vess Cola. Vess everything is good.
I think you can find it most places, but I don't think Wal-Mart or the like carries it... so it might've again become regional. Anyway, they're cheapo sodas. Better than Shasta or Sam's Choice but not quite as good as the mainstay brands... but their Orange and Root Beer are KILLER.

May just avoid typing. :P

Lays/lies is my hot button, but I've just about given up on it. Professional journalists are using the incorrect form routinely now. At what point does incorrect usage become the new standard in a dynamic language?

Ahhhh....I tend to be just a paper and pencil kind of guy, so I would have never known that. :P

That's one of my wife's hot buttons. (But then, she's an editor.) Have you read Eats, Shoots & Leaves? Sounds like you'd like it a lot.

That's ok. I'm a Mathematics major. But the ability to communicate well and correctly is still fairly important to me. "Then" and "Than" (technically) aren't even pronounced the same. It's not like the problems with its/it's, to/two/too, you're/your, there/their/they're, etc.
Where'd that soapbox come from?
