Ah! I don'...Two pieces of pie! That is funny!<br /><br />Ah! I don't use that one very often, but I think I've always said "intents and purposes".Erudessa Arandurielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994694800443851115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152609397803879017.post-29093800390857563082017-01-24T05:21:59.042-07:002017-01-24T05:21:59.042-07:00I'm not sure if it counts as an idiom, but one...I'm not sure if it counts as an idiom, but one I hear often is 'I could care less' instead of 'I couldn't care less'. Leaving that little 'n't' off the end changes the whole sentence. ;)Hope Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540244985020360947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152609397803879017.post-79177861372926449112017-01-23T16:00:26.094-07:002017-01-23T16:00:26.094-07:00My teacher's mother is from Spain and has a re...My teacher's mother is from Spain and has a really heavy accent. One day my teacher asked her how she was feeling, and rather than saying "I have my ups and downs" as she meant to, she said "I have my upside downs." It was pretty funny. Another one she said was "You and me? We're like two pieces of pie," rather than "Two peas in a pod." Speaking of "mis-sayings" I recently discovered that the phrase is not "for all intensive purposes" but rather "for all intents and purposes". As someone who values grammar and syntax a lot, I was shocked and deeply disturbed to see I have been saying it wrong all the time. Oh the humanity! *languishes*LoverofLembashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062307906254706195noreply@blogger.com
