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”.

    Just like “voila” you might think is said the French way, like it’s spelled, but a lot of English speakers say “walla”.

    Ugh, I can’t agree with this one. I think a lot of English speakers say “walla” because they think it’s spelled “walla”.
