“for all intensive purposes...”

This is a mis-spelling, or mis-pronounciation, of “for all intents and purposes”, and indicates to me that the speaker/writer is trying to pontificate above their level of education/intelligence. Another which grates on my eyes and ears is to “hone in on” when they appear to mean “to home in on.”
