Was it clearly enunciated as "intensive purposes" or did he just say it kinda fast with a touch of an accent to make it sound like that? Did you ask him "do you mean intents and purposes?" and then he tried to correct you?Originally posted by: compuwiz1
I just heard a customer say it wrong
What other words do you guys find misused and annoying?
Now that I think about it, you should NOT correct us to say "intents and purposes". Instead, correct us to say "purposes and intents". That way, the grammar error will be gone, for all purposes and intents.Originally posted by: compuwiz1
It's for all intents and purposes, ya dummies!
