There was a young woman from Slough
who had a terrible cough
she made some fresh dough
with a rotten old bough
and we're surprised that she didn't pull through

Why TF is the plural of "chassis" also "chassis"??? I'm trying to describe multiple of these things being carted around somewhere, and finding it difficult to write in a way that isn't awkward as fuck.

"You have to be brave," "You've got to be brave," and "You have got to be brave" all make grammatical sense, but "You've to be brave" doesn't.

Stupid hills I will die on: The past tense of sneak is snuck and "sneaked" is a word someone made up within the last ten years. I don't care how many word processors tell me I'm wrong.
