LOL, I could've made this secret, I swear. I guess it's a common mistake when people hear this saying in conversation, but don't read it in print. You know another one that makes me stop and laugh? "Nip it in the butt", instead of "nip it in the bud".

Yeah, the problem is definitely when the wrong version seems to make as much sense as the right version. Then, unless you see it spelled out, a lot of people probably won't even think to question it.

Like, to most people I think "intensive purposes" doesn't really sound any more gibberish than "intents and purposes." "Nip it in the bud" sounds like nonsense if you don't think of gardening/horticulture, whereas "nip it in the butt" is silly, but also does kind of sound like it could pertain to admonishing/discouraging someone from something. I would actually argue that "deep-seeded" makes more sense than "deep-seated," so when people get that one wrong I'm not remotely surprised.
