I can never get phrases correct.

I've heard it both ways equally i'd say. littlebug on "Do you say "spitting image" or "splitting image"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-spitting-image-or-splitting-image#post-304849 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 09:53:58 +0000 littlebug 304849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never heard of splitting image. Yes, "all intensive purposes" makes me crazy. Same with when people say "It's a mute point." No, it's MOOT point. Hubs used to use "in lieu of" as "in honor of" rather than "instead of." It drove me nuts and he'd get so mad when I tried to correct him.

This is very popular in the part of england where I lived and I would always fight the urge to correct people.

I was talking to DH about this post right now and mentioned your "intensive purposes" comparison and he didn't see how that was wrong! What?!?! He's very highly educated and I couldn't believe it since he uses the term quite regularly in his work! Had to google it and make sure he "corrects" this little malapropism in his daily work life! hehehe - so very few opportunities where I feel like I know more than him! :) DigAPony on "Do you say "spitting image" or "splitting image"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-spitting-image-or-splitting-image#post-304307 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 01:40:49 +0000 DigAPony 304307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never heard "splitting image" before.
