Please state what 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”.

      This is another one. “Anymore” only works when paired with a negative, like: Idiocracy is not fiction, anymore.

      Imagine if you asked whether the store has AA batteries, and the clerk says, “We have anymore.” In contrast, “we don’t have anymore” works.
