Is it normal to want to punch someone in the neck when they say for all intensive purposes, instead of for all intents and purposes?
Annoying but hardly a justification for physical violence.
It irritates me when people say "incidences" for "incidents" or mix up assume and presume and infer and imply, but I don't want to attack them. Then there's spitting image instead of spit and image .... you really shouldn't have started me off on this ....you really shouldn't ......
So how do you feel when they say, 'statue of limitations' and 'nip it in the butt'.
Maybe they've got 'Old timer’s disease' (Alzheimers disease).
You could axe them (ask them) why?
Oh god, I hate the old timers disease one. My stepdad actually says "Altimers" disease.
Oh my gosh I hate that one too! I don't see how people can even use that incorrectly. Do they not realize how the meaning changes when you switch the two words?
I think people don't even think about the meaning of what it is they are saying. I even heard Dr Phil using 'could care less' on his show some time ago.
Another one is: Irregardless vs. Regardless
Regardless means without regard.
Throwing an “ir” at the beginning makes the word a double negative. i.e. 'without without regard'
I could care less how annoying it is. There's no excuse for violence irregardless. If you didn't really mean you want to hurt them you could of said so. And if you take this post seriously I'm literally going to die laughing.
I've never heard anyone say that, but it doesn't seem like a normal reason to punch someone in the neck.
Its Understandable I want to hit people with bricks when they terribly mispronounce grade school level words
Actual YOUR wrong; there's a difference between "intents and" and "intensive". Intensive means they worked really hard at it.
Ex: "...for all intensive purposes..." translated into "...for all of these long and thought out purposes..."
I don't usually correct unless it's someone who corrected someone incorrectly, so please don't take this badly...
You're not your, and the phrase is indeed intents and purposes, regardless of whether it could make sense as is - it's still not the correct phrase, as OP stated.
The best way to punch someone in the throat is by sticking out your middle finger halfway and supporting that finger with your thumb by pressing the middle finger just above the nail with your thumb.
A swift jab would be sufficient if you hit somebody on the throat or in an inward roundhouse movement, connecting the side of the throat just beneath the jaw.
I would not actually do that, but wow it's just like nails on a chalkboard.
