Maybe an answer to last weeks QotWbut I used to say "intensive purposes" until one day it clicked that it made no sense. I guess many people are guilty of tripping out turns of phrase without stopping to think what the words actually mean.
Anyway - I still live in fear that it will slip out again as my brain is hard-wired to get this wrong.

MisphrasedI once saw an extended internet "discussion" in which somone (probably an ignorant 12 year-old) used the phrase "you reap what you sew." When it was pointed out to him that this made no sense at all he spent a good few pages insisting that his version was just as valid as the one that actually meant something. Arse.
