We have a friend couple that always say "for all intended purposes".

I had a past coworker that always spoke of "mute" points that didn't
matter either way.

I had a recent coworker that thought I used to work in a cubicle
(pronounced cube-is-uhl).

The funniest part is that most of these people used these fancy words to
impress everyone else.  The saddest part is, in our little town, most
people thought they were geniuses.  Or, is that genii?

We've a friend with a son the same age as ours.  When she admonishes him
she yells "Josh, are you being haeve?" (instead of "are you behaving").

We've never heard anybody else use that so we assume it's not a
regionalism...
