There're a couple more things. Good job nonetheless! :)

Regiment and serial killer are my favorite errors. No, I didn't feel like putting quotation marks around them.
Quite fun. After the tally, I got a solid B.
"That" could be discussed further. In any case, I missed that as a possible error.
I skipped everyday speech.

I think it depends on the situation. Talking at work is different from talking on break or out with friends. My expectations of an email vs a text is quite different. I assume an email is from a desktop or laptop pc, whereas texts are from phones. I will excuse spelling and grammar errors more readily in a text than in an email.

Regarding HBT, I have the assumption that the contributors may be inebriated and/or may be on a mobile device making spelling and grammar errors more excusable. Fat fingers on a touchscreen and/or auto correct sometimes make some interesting words.
 
Punctuation is key.

That's a good one. It took me a minute to see the fun part of the idea. I was taught that "and" replaces the comma. Your example is compelling; however, if I were to say, "Joe, Bill, Kevan (fun name), Patricia and Alvin enjoyed their ice cream," it's fairly clear, I think. I've been drinking so bear with me.
 
This has got me stumped....... I thought I was pretty much a Cuss Word Savant!!!! Alex.... I would like to buy a vowel.....

Here's what I was planning to do, but others were able to help:

I even had the board all set up. The clue is "Cuss Word Savant."

An "O"?

Do _ _ _ _ B _ _



It also appears to be a compound word from a quick Google scan, so take that for what it's worth.

I binged Supernatural and one of the characters is fond of the insult.

I'm quite fond of compound expletives.
