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 feel like we should be able to beat the living shit out of people intentionally spreading political misinformation.

    Like im sorry, this may not meet instance rules, or whatever, but like, holy fuck, the amount of shit you can just lie about, without people asking question, kneecaps should’ve happened years ago, what the fuck are we doing bro.

      Hmmm, I don’t know. Maybe if you could first prove that it was political misinformation. While yes, there is way too much actual political mis/disinformation online nowadays, I also see on a daily basis people online claiming this when it’s really not. In other words, throwing the baby out with the bath water.

        i think you should be required to demonstrate proof of your claim first, anything short of that is a failure in communication.

        People should not feel comfortable saying things they have no idea the validity of. You’re not far from being completely illiterate at that point. Have some decency and don’t fucking say it.
