Years ago I started saying for all intensive purposes to make fun of people and now I can never remember which one's right without thinking for a few seconds. Let that be a lesson to you.

I knew somebody who always said "It's a mute point"

It's the people who get the basics wrong who really drive me crazy. Like those who write:

That is to funny.

I, too, am also always searching for typos, grammar, and spelling errors.
Thank you Chris, for bringing this to light.
Irregardless.... thanks Valarie. That one really bugs me!
