Tweet and twitter have precedence here. They've been used as singular/plural for many long years, since before the grandparents of whomever created Twitter was born.
What really irritates me is "my tweets." Don't you mean your twitter?

If we can get some philanthropist to fund prizes for the Darwin Awards, I'm sure that would do the trick. The idiots would literally kill themselves trying to win!

"That being said," or "That said", or "Having said that" ... just say it already!!
I don't know if it has been mentioned in this giant thread yet, but being in Alabama I hear "I'm not racist, but (insert racist statement here)" all the time. If you need a disclaimer, guess what...you're racist!

Anywho isn't a freakin word
Sure it is. I'm pretty sure Merriam-Webster lists this term as a rough equivalent to the phrase "I'm a jackass."
Anywho, jesus Is a jackass

To be fair, some people really just want to be fair! ;-)

Without a doubt... as soon as I hear it I question it's validity.
"Supper"
I know I know. Its a real word that has been around for hundreds of years and it is generally used properly. It just sounds silly to me.
Yes. Just call it dinner. Supper is a silly word.
