Re: What phrases get on your nerves because people don't say them correctly?

"For all intensive purposes" and "Mid rift" come to mind immediately. The latter's not as bad, since in speech it tends to sound identical to midriff, but "intensive purposes" is not actually the same as "intents and purposes"! It's not even a phrase with opaque, antiquated words, dammit! People still use both intent and purpose, fairly regularly!

Uh, personally...I legitimately thought the phrase was "for all intensive purposes" for 15+ years. I had never seen it written down, and that's what it sounded like when people said it. The day I realized it was "intents and" my brain exploded a little. So I'd keep that in mind when you hear people say it and want to crush something.
