In recent years, I learned that I have been saying “for all intensive purposes”, which is meaningless when I should have been saying “for all intents and purposes”. I have since adopted the correct phrase. You should, also.

Next…

“I could care less”. No. You “couldn’t care less”. Otherwise you are saying that you care a little.

Add yours.

Read them.

Quit saying dumb stuff.

Go.

\*stole this from jeepforums, figured everyone could have a field day.

this is improper but it makes more sense.  
How come they say Hanged herself, wouldnt it be Hung herself?  
Everytime I read a news report it says hanged and It makes me want to punch kittens.

“mine as well”

I see people type this out all the time and I’m still trying to figure out in what part of the world people pronounce ‘might’ as ‘mine’

I _might_ as well go to the store…

> When hang means, as it generally does, “to suspend,” then hung is the correct past-tense and past participial form of the verb: “Yesterday, I hung a picture on the wall”; “I have hung many pictures on many walls.” When hang means “to put to death by hanging,” however, hanged is the correct past-tense and past participial form: “We hanged the horse-thieving varmint yesterday”; “We’ve hanged nigh unto forty horse thieves this year.” Given that hanging has become a fairly infrequent means to a fairly infrequent end, you might think that this is an unimportant distinction. But, because of a colloquial use of hung that we blush bright yellowish green to mention here, you can end up embarrassing yourself if you use hung as an adjective to describe a male historical figure executed by hanging. History records that John Billington was hanged at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1630; whether Mr. Billington was hung, history does not record.

It’s not _tiggle bitties_, it’s _‘Tig Ole’ Bitties’_, which is nothing more than **_Big Ole’ Titties_** with two letters swapped.

Oh yeah, and people who type _lawl_ instead of lol. lol is an acronym not a word people. When you actually **L** augh **O** ut **L** oud you don’t say ‘LAWL!’
