English is a tricky language. It’s so tricky, in fact, that even native speakers often make mistakes with it. Here are 14 very commonly misused expressions that many speakers don’t even realize they are using incorrectly. These include irregardless, ex-patriot, piece of mind, could care less, and more. Take the quiz on this lesson here: www.engvid.com/14-expressions...
What is a "native speaker", anyway? I discuss it in this video: • Who is a native speaker?
Learn to avoid more common English mistakes: How & when to use LESS, FEWER, and LEAST in English • How & when to use LESS...
In this lesson:
00:00 - Common English Mistakes: Expressions -
01:01 "could care less"
01:52 "irregardless"
02:52 "for all intensive purposes"
03:53 "anyways"
04:22 "self-depreciating"
05:38 "ex-patriot"
06:48 "nip it in the butt"
07:48 "piece of mind"

Great lesson, Adam! Thank you very much. Bono sings this expression "sleight of hands" in the song "With or Without you", but he pronounces it "slight". "Irregardless" is a new one for me. I had never heard it before. But ... "anyways" is very common in New York City. I learned to use this "mistake" there, and I have to confess that it's been a bit hard getting rid of it.

I believe, EngVid is a Canadian enterprise, so I assume that Canadians are not much better at this :) I agree, it doesn't make any sense, but it's the same in my native language, Russian: most people learn many expressions like these from casual conversation and don't read many books. Now imagine how many mistakes the Chinese must do in their language, given that in their writing system, there is essentially no connection between phonetics and ideograms they write.

@@bytefu Great point indeed. It's often about what people read versus what they hear. However, that doesn't excuse the mispronunciation of 'parmesan' (as in the Italian cheese) by most Americans (and some Brits!)

Methinks "irregardless" comes from the confusion with its synonym "irrespective". To me, "irregardless" is utterly unacceptable since it makes no logical sense, just like "could care less".

Also in Italian we experience the same issue on "couldn't care less" , i guess it's due to the fact the people are lazy and are keen on shortening the statements as they are widely understood anyway

Wow, I suddenly feel much better about my English. My primary sources of education in the language for the first decade was elementary and middle school (started learning at age 7, learned very little), then, for roughly another decade, video games with a dictionary, and in the last decade - first programming documentation and the Internet, then I gradually started watching movies and TV shows, but have only read less than a dozen books total. And I still knew the correct variants of most of the expressions, especially "self-deprecating". Took me measly 30 years to reach a decent proficiency level 😁 Jokes aside, I suspect it is much easier to learn English living in an English-speaking country, as opposed to Russia. And it is definitely easier, at least to me, to learn languages with a fully developed brain (that's a bold statement, isn't it).
