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”.

    Coming from the other direction - when someone ackshullys a parson, but the person was using the phrase correctly.

    I had to explain to someone online today that “liminal space” had multiple meanings, and it didn’t only refer to spaces you transition through, and the spooky “liminal space aesthetic” is a valid and coherent use of the word “liminal” and the term “liminal space”
