Formal logic for Dummies?

Hi guys!
So, since coming to AF I have taken an interest in formal logic, and logical fallacies. I've been perusing the web for fallacy practice quizzes, and logic 101-type crash courses, but I was wondering if you well-trained whizzes might have some recommended resources for a lay person of average intelligence like me! I figured you guys probably know some of the better sites because you've used them as tools. Any input would be wonderful!
. Thanks in advance! [emoji5]

Not nitpicking as I understood your meaning, but the fallacies you wish to discover are actually part of informal logic.

Happy hunting!
No, I APPRECIATE the nitpicking! How else will I learn?

Stimbo is also a man!

I thought this here was a non prophet organization!

Is there a punchline coming Irrational?
Or is that it? Just good old fashioned blunt rudeness?
