Use of the phrase "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes".

[Rajni]

I can't always English, but when I do, whoah nelliebeanz!

 

[JackRT]

Use of the phrase "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes".

That's such a mute point.

 

[Quid est Veritas?]

That's such a mute point.

You mean moo point.

spelling isn't grammar.

? I didn't point out a spelling error.

There are a lot of PC word usages that annoy me.

They are all like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

Watching golf today I'm reminded of the one with obnoxious knuckle-draggers who insist on yelling out stupid things the split second after someone hits a shot. "In the hole!" is by far the worst of all. These people should be immediately ejected. It's getting like Happy Gilmore out there.

Use of the phrase "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes".

I have never heard that one.

I have never heard that one.

When people don't flush the toilet after use

Have you never heard Dustin Hoffman's famous line from Meet the Fockers: "If its yellow, let it mellow. If its brown, flush it down."

It is considered "green" in not wasting water.

In this post 50 shades world I fear having to deal with more dominate males.

But I won't get to upset until they ask me to bare with them.

 

[PreviouslySeeking...]

People who don't believe in training/ disciplining small children and/or animals. Bad behavior isn't adorable because it comes from something small and possibly cute.

 

[Rajni]

When a word ending in a silent "e" is emphasized by extending -- you guessed it -- the silent "e".

Example: "That puppy is so cuteeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Unfortunately, those silent "e"s aren't going to make more noise if there's more of them.

Why stop there? How about only flushing the toilet once the flies are attracted to it?

People referring to The Revelation of St. John the Divine as:

Revelations

Even worse if they then expect to instruct others on the contents when they cannot even get the title right.

I prefer "The Apocalypse of John."

 

[Quid est Veritas?]

The singular is die. The plural is dice.

 

[JackRT]

The singular is die. The plural is dice.

Hence the plural of mie is mice?

 

[Rajni]

The singular of dice should be douse.
