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”.

    Not sure I’ve noticed this one. As in a singular woman is called “women” or people dance around calling a woman “women” or say lady or female or something other than “woman”?

    I’ve seen people uncomfortable with saying “woman” for some reason, but haven’t noticed if the same people say “women” or not.

      I see it a lot in online comments. Not so much on Lemmy but other places like YouTube and Instagram.
