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”.

    The “positive anymore” is a vile grammatical abomination spawning from the Midwest US.

    Normally using the word anymore has a negative tone to it (I don’t eat meat anymore) . Except when used in this manner which seems to be when they should instead be saying currently or nowadays.

    I find it viscerally unappealing.
