Nobody hates the hypercorrections?
I
"He will sell the tickets to Mike and I"
It's "Mike and me". Simple way to figure it out is to try the sentence without the other person. You wouldn't say, " He will sell the tickets to I"
Myself
"If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask Dave or myself"
You ask yourself. I ask myself. You ask me. I ask you.
Don't just choose longer words cause you think it makes you seem smarterer.
Unique
"That coin is very unique"
Nothing is very unique or so unique etc. There are no degrees of uniqueness. Something is unique or it's not. Substitute "one of a kind" into your sentence to check.
"That coin is very one of a kind"

Another pet peeve: "could care less" when you really mean "COULDN'T care less".

Filipino's refer to themselves as Pinoy in their native tongue, just as Japanese call themselves Nihon ji desu (or something close, iirc).

The country is named for King Philip II of Spain, discovered by Ferdinand Magellan.

Good thing a filipino coworker corrected me. That was pretty fail.

Peoples and Persons
When I was taught English these were not words
People is already plural or multiple individuals. So why the hell pluralize a plural? Persons WTF we have people to cover that!
I blame the Americans.

I blame the Americans. | Peoples and persons were always words. Your teachers just told you that they weren't so you wouldn't get into the habit of using them incorrectly at a young age.

But in Canada we spell with British English (or did) as such Peoples and Persons are not words instead they are part of American English.
Color is American, Colour is Canadian but when you type Colour into your computer, spell check attempts to correct it.  I'm too old

The Metis and the French peoples need to unite in order to preserve their respective cultures.
^ Peoples sounds "correct" in this context, please correct me if mistaken.

It's right, people derives from the latin word populum (group of people) Peoples = two+ distinct groups of people mentioned in one sentence.
Person derives from latin persona, an individual, persons is multiple individuals.
Nowadays people just accept that person = singular, and people = plural of person but the origins of person/persons and people/peoples are distinct and if you look at old legal text you will see that more than one person = persons

I notice usually in some DIY threads whenever the OP warn members that he is not responsible if you "brick" this thing instead of "break" this thing.
