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”.

    So weird, I just heard this phrase in its entirety from Dr. Smith, of the classic Lost in Space series.

    It’s such a goofy show but the dialogue can be shockingly eloquent.

    “Proof is in the pudding” always got to me too… Thought it was some old weird Baker-farmer-ism or something Lol.
