Intensive Purposes

Yep, I've said it before. I've also said, "extensive purposes" and, just today, "extents and purposes." And the University of Kansas still saw fit to give me an English degree. So, instead of continuing to sound like an ass, I looked it up on the wiki. What I found was this very funny article about language from 1994. I know it's 14 years old, but it reminded me of Twisted Daughter and how she sings Hey There Delilah. According to her the song is about the brave Native American tribe, Wachitootamee.
