alumni.

A male is an alumnus. Alumni is a larger group of people that have attended or graduated from a school.

Has "since vs sense" been mentioned?

When someone types "I have a good since of direction" or something like that, I die inside.

That is a good one but I can see how people make the mistake because they sound the exact same IRL. My examples in the OP sound totally different which is what makes it worse IMO.

Because it is a college football internet forum and it doesn't matter as long as you're point gets across.

Wish I could find the long paragraph of mixed metaphor/misstatements in the last week somebody posted chock full or "minus well" "take for granite" type sayings that a few grammar jackboots didn't recognize as satire.

I see people use "baw" incorrectly all the time

Example: "The word baw is stupid"
