I always thought the phrase was “for all intents and purposes”?
Richard Howland-Bolton Premium Member almost 12 years ago
He’s using ‘literally’ figuratively.
EXTERMINATE! almost 12 years ago
The misuse of the word “literally” makes me figuratively insane.
Blastman4 almost 12 years ago
What about the misuse of the unnecessary word “got”?
seismic-2 Premium Member almost 12 years ago
Francis seems to have a pretty intensive purpose.
Johnnie Polo Premium Member almost 12 years ago
I don’t think he actually has MILLIONS of them. Hence Francis’ reaction.

Francis is gonna peeve his pants if Nate doen’t quit it
jeffin101 almost 12 years ago
My pet peeve would have to be when people say they love something when they haven’t got used to it. For example a new TV show comes on and so far they have only realeased one episode of it and when a commercial for the next episode comes on they say they love it.

What happened with Nates lame attempts at finding a girl friend? I’d hoped that story line would have yielded a few more laughs before moving on.

It is also a common problem that people do not use words correctly. Challenge yourself to not use slang for an hour. Older people can challenge themselves to not use profanities for 5 minues.
Keith Messamer almost 12 years ago
Irregardless, I could care less.
