I have a feeling the above verbally sound way much weirder than how they read.
Quick has less latency in it which means it is done more on the fly with less efforts while fast could take sometime before it reaches high speeds. A 20mbps internet connection is could be quicker than a 40mbps internet connection bearing better results and outcome in online fast paced games (see, I didn't say quick paced) like first person shooters. It is also cheaper and fast enough.
You dig? I hope you do, cuz I don't know what I'm bluffing here
That's ironic.

Didn't bother to read the other replies, but if they were not covered:
Could care less vs Couldn't care less - couldn't is the correct usage. If you say "I could care less" then that means that there is still some wiggle room for how much you care.
Y'all vs Ya'll - the term is Southern slang. It means "you all" and the correct spelling is y'all. Many people spell it ya'll which stands for "ya all."
Affect vs Effect - affect is usually a verb while effect is a noun (but not always). If you think of the terms alphabetically (a before e), there has to be an action (affect) before there can be a result (effect). Pollution can affect the environment. The music produced a calming effect.
Past vs Passed - passed is the past tense or the past participle of pass. An example would be "the car passed me on the left." Past is a different beast altogether as it can be a noun, adjective, adverb or preposition. It usually deals with time. An example would be "don't worry about the past."
Allusion vs Illusion - allusion is a reference to something such as a literary work. An illusion is a visual trick.
Alter vs Altar - alter means to change something. Altar is a place of worship or sacrifice.
Stationary vs Stationery - stationary (with an a) means not moving. Stationery (with an e) is paper that you write on.
Cemetery vs Cemetary - cemetery (e x3) means a graveyard. Cemetary with an 'a' is a misspelling.
Sell vs Sale vs Sail vs Cell - I will use examples to explain these: Do you want to sell your car? The store is having a grand opening sale. I want to sail a ship. That is a small prison cell. Bacteria is an example of a single cell organism.
I could go on all night as a grammar Nazi...

You're forgetting complement vs compliment

I wouldn't either. A "fast learner" is one that learns quickly. A "quick learner" might not have anything to do with learning. IE, they might simply walk fast. Such is the realm of idioms.

A lot of humor relies on the "slop" within a language. Double meanings and allusions often give rise to a smile.
A man walks into a bar... OUCH!
A man walks into a bar again. OUCH! You'd think he'd learn!
A man walks into the bar and sits down. Before he could order he hears from nowhere "Nice Tie!" As he's ordering a martini, he hears the same voice declare "Nice suit too!". Clearly rattled, he looks to the bartender. Rolling his eyes, the bartender retorts "Don't mind the nuts... they're complimentary!"

Fair enough, but if Americans are so keen to write each word as a correct spelling to produce a phonetically correct sound then they have got a lot of extra work to do upon their own irregularities!

sez you.
How do you verbally sound?
Well, sound is just the vibration in air that makes us hear stuff regardless of what they are, while verbal sounding is receiving that air vibration specifically carrying what identify as uttered words, not just random meaningless sounds like knocking, clapping or water pouring.
Do you know what roe is?
"Affect" & "effect" have the same problem.
