    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".

      As a non native speaker, it really irks me when people mix up "brake" and "break", specially among car enthusiasts.
