Axle vs Axel—A Quick Grammar Lesson

A few years ago, my Niece let me see a text on how she texted with her G/F's.
It didn't even make sense with my reading glasses on.

And yet, when I read those sentences with mixed up letters, no problemo.

Dam auto-correct, says I have a problem.

"Then" in place of "than".
"Defiantly" and "definately" are definitely not what was meant.
I couldn't care less if you use "could care less", but I'm happy you care.

My wife's a big shot, on the move all the time and doesn't have time to check her talk-to-text messages. The other night she texted me about a boy my daughter's interested in who plays the bass with a bell in a string ensemble. Bass with a bell? That sent me down a Google hole for a while. My daughter is a bit of an actress and her theater is about two blocks from the Jason Miller bust. We walked down after play practice one night last week, and while she found the "ashes in the head" thing to be interesting she had no idea who Jason Miller was. I told my wife this and she texted "that's because she's never seen X or cyst". I was quick to correct her: "you mean it's because she's seen neither X nor cyst". I'm a true grammar nazi boss.
 
Their they're, don't let the lye affect ewe to much.

Also, what about "bald-faced lie" vs. "bold-faced lie"?
What’s the difference between the Rolling Stones and a Scottish sheep farmer?

The Rolling Stones sing "hey! You! Get off of my cloud!"

The Scottish sheep farmers screams "hey! McCloud! Get off of my ewe!"
