For all intensive purposes
For all intents and purposes

All be it
Albeit

Air on the side of caution
Err on the side of caution

"take for granite" has nothing to do with grammar. It's simply ignorance.

In my opinion these are excusable. Most people know the proper way to use each, but sometimes when you are typing fast you don't think about it. A lot of busy bodies on here think they are so intelligent by correcting spelling errors. They are very irritating people.

How many times did you read your OP with a fine toothed comb to make sure you didn't spell anything wrong?

Jackpot. Hat tip to Old Money.

quote:

Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

I know a chick that said she always wanted to see the "Sixteen Chapel" instead of "Sistine Chapel". I was speechless.
