ah! i don't mean to be rude...howaboutnonaDecember 28 2003, 15:00:37 UTC
but it's my pet peeve...along with mussing up et cetera.
it's not intensive purposes, it's: for all intents and purposes.
unless of course you were making a play on words; then by all means...intensive purposes it is!
i used to fuck it up all the time and then i felt like such a jack ass when i found out what it really was, so, now i go around correcting everyone to make myself feel better. :)
and i dont mean to be a total bitch...tankgrrlieDecember 28 2003, 15:48:19 UTC
1) intensive is more fun to say and i find the idea of "intensive purposes" to be more amusing than "intents and purposes" which is terribly dull and uninteresting

oh man i'm sorry. i didn't mean to sound shitty. really. it's just those 2 things really that i correct. et cetera and that. just cause i think that people might want to know what that saying really is instead of fucking it up all the time. or rather, i guess i'd just like to get the word out so i don't have to cringe anymore. i don't know you, so i don't know if you know correct grammer, or care...but i thought you'd just like to know. it was a friendly pointer is all. i, myself, am kinda obsessed with vocabulary and such so it's the type of thing i'd like pointed out to me. sorry if i got your goat. really. i don't want you to think i suck... cause i don't think you suck. what i know of you is good. in fact... i'd like to be your friend.
