^^ that one i agree w/. "just as soon" implies that both options are equal, but if you want to express that you'd rather go w/ one option, especially when one may be less complicted, "i'd just assume" is a great phrase.

Different concept but 'smokes like a freight train' annoys me. Trains have not given off significant amounts of smoke in over 50 years.

That doesn't make any fucking sense.

"I'd just assume go to the grocery store instead."

WAT

I admit, I did not know it was "intents and purposes" until some time in 2009.

http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/

Quote :
"In September 2003, Mark Liberman reported (Egg corns: folk etymology, malapropism, mondegreen, ???) an incorrect yet particularly suggestive creation: someone had written “egg corn” instead of “acorn”. It turned out that there was no established label for this type of non-standard reshaping. Erroneous as it may be, the substitution involved more than just ignorance: an acorn is more or less shaped like an egg; and it is a seed, just like grains of corn. So if you don’t know how acorn is spelled, egg corn actually makes sense.

Mark Liberman’s colleague Geoffrey Pullum chimed in and suggested that this type of linguistic error should be called an eggcorn. Then Arnold Zwicky, wrote an enlightening article (Lady Mondegreen says her peace about egg corns) in which he gave his blessing to the term eggcorn and explained that new labels for spontaneous reshapings of known expressions are sorely needed, and listed the aspects under which eggcorns overlap with but yet differ from known classes of lexical creativity: malapropisms, mondegreens, folk etymologies etc. Mark Liberman subsequently gave some more thought to eggcorn terminology.

Since then, the Language Log linguists and many others have gone eggcorn-hunting. Eggcorns have turned out to be surprisingly common: even the seemingly outlandish egg corn is not an individual one-off error, but has been reinvented many times over."
