What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025? - Lemmy.World

Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be. Example: In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.

To “step foot on”. I don’t care that millennial journalists are now sullying the literal NYT with this, it’s WRONG. It’s to set foot on. To SET foot on.
Step foot il stuck!
Wh… What are you doing, step-toe?
