Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.
Example:
In America, recently came across "back-petal", instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes".
I don't do it that much anymore as I learned to enjoy the freedom of using language, but I recently watched a miniminuteman video where he says pause for concern. which kinda makes sense so it's an eggcorn: something that would cause concern would hopefully also make one pause for a moment.
apparently this is a commonly misheard phrase though this was the first time I heard someone say it.
People that think "y" in online gaming means "yeah" instead of "why".
Haha is this a follow up on that one post with the OP writing "back-petal"?
I learned recently that I was using the word "hydroscopic" incorrectly to describe something that repels water. A hydroscope is a device to observe things under water.
Hydrophobic is what I was looking for.
I only realized I had been using the term incorrectly when I got into 3D printing and learned all about the hygroscopic filaments involved lol. I had and epiphany and realized the mistake I had been making for my entire life. And nobody corrected me!
Irregardless is just a synonym for Regardless now and I staunchly oppose anyone who tries to correct it.
In German:
statt eines davon
"addicting"
Can someone explain DEI and Affirmative action? 99% sure the right is using it wrong, but I live in a red state.
You don't feel "nauseous" you feel "nauseated".
EDIT: TIL "nauseous" can be used in place of "nauseated". This usage has been common since the 20th century.
