One thing that I have noticed in some blogs is this statement: "For all intensive purposes...."
I'm not normally one who corrects people. My mom always said "You don't correct adults--it's not polite." So unless I really can't tell what a person meant to say, I just go with what they said.
But c'mon, really? Have they never read the phrase in writing? "Intents and purposes," people.
Although it makes me curious--what would an intensive purpose be?
