People are losing their minds over the two ways people read calendars

1. Nip it in the bud vs Nip it in the bud

At some point, the word ‘bud’ became ‘butt’ and entered the general vocabulary, but this doesn’t make sense as a sentence.

2. Hunger pangs vs hunger pangs

Although these two phrases mean the same thing: the individual experiences tension in the lower abdomen associated with hunger, “pains” is the correct way to end that sentence.

3. You have another thing coming up vs You have another idea coming up

‘To have another thought on the way’ means ‘to be very wrong’ and is the correct form of this sentence.

4. Scapegoat vs Scapegoat

When you do something wrong but blame someone else, you are making them your ‘scapegoat’.

5. Statute of Limitations vs Statute of Limitations

Statutes of limitations are laws passed by legislative bodies in systems to establish the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings can be initiated.

6. For all purposes vs. For all intensive purposes

For all intents and purposes means in all practical or virtually sense.

7. Naked Ass vs Naked Buck

Both lines mean the same thing, to be completely naked, but ‘naked’ is the original and grammatically correct form of the phrase.

8. Silent point vs moot point

A moot point can be a subject open to debate or a matter of no practical value or importance because it is hypothetical.

9. One in the same vs One and the same

By saying that something is ‘one and the same’, you are effectively saying that the two things you are talking about are identical.
