For all intensive purposes- It might sound like that, but the correct phrase is "for all intents and purposes." It means virtually or practically speaking. "Even though they are not related by blood, for all intents and purposes, they are brothers." #idioms #grammar #grammardiva #books #grammarbooks

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I posted just what you said on Facebook this morning with a beautiful photo of the Reiners. It is so illogical that trump still walks the earth. It makes me think that maybe this is hell and there is something else.

Having the smell of fresh coffee brewing, in my first ever real coffee maker, spreading through my living room and into my computer room/homegym is a good feeling.

Flush out/Flesh out: Although you can flush something out, for example flush out your eye with water, usually you mean to flesh out. Flesh out means to add more details. "You need to flesh out the draft to your novel." #idioms #grammar #grammardiva #words #language

Exact revenge/Extract revenge - The correct phrase is to "exact revenge." It means to plan revenge. "He exacted revenge on the judge who, he felt, put him in prison unfairly." #grammar #grammardiva #books #idioms
