Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

As far as I can tell, this passed the Florida Senate this morning - minors can now work through the night, longer than 8hrs without a 30 minute break, etc. DeSantis worked as a kid and he turned out "just fine". 🙄
