I'm 27 years old and I just learned that it's "for all intents AND purposes" not "for all intensive purposes". Never really thought about the fact that the latter makes NO fucking sense whatsoever. My mom's a school teacher and she's teaching kids things like "for all intensive purposes" and "supposively". I'd rather she have sex with a student than pass on that kind of horrible misinformation.

She was also as big as a house and would order a family meal for herself (never married), and so to save face she would order two drinks so the kids in the drive through wouldn't think she was ordering all of that food for herself.
The most important thing to remember about grammar/language is that you need to effectively communicate an idea. Poor grammar is poor because as the language breaks down, there is also a communication breakdown. The language CAN change to include new words that represent new ideas and similarly words with assigned meanings can be reassigned to something else as society and use dictates.
In short, don't be discouraged, both phrases are useful depending on how you want to actually use them (where i assume 'intensive purposes' might include actions that require much scrutiny and concentration and 'intents and purposes' would include the meaning behind and action itself or in other words the purpose - though that seems redundant no? intents AND purposes? maybe that's why it changed in the language for all i know) In any case, again, dont worry about it as long as you're communicating effectively.

Lately I'm utterly horrified by the large percentage of people on Facebook who seem to think you pluralize words with a fucking apostrophe. It seriously has turned me off like five girls I've had a long-standing hard-on for.
One day she came in with what could best be described as a hair mousse can and she was spraying it into her mouth. She told us her body had problems creating saliva, so this can was a spit-in-a-can type product she got from her doctor. And she'd sit in front of the class spraying loads of spit into her mouth during class which made us all want to vomit.
When she was young, she was bathing in the tub and it fell through the floor. She remembered sitting there under the house in a tub.
All of this is true.

as if my brain is thinking to fast for me to type.
That's "too fast" for you to type, vsbm. Now take your seat. [sprays can of spit in mouth]
my grammar is atrocious.
improper sentence structure,use of prepositional phrases,imperatives...
you name it,i have butchered them all.
thank god i dont have to teach grammar!
takes the can o spit from blankfist..
hey..is that cherry flavor?..niiiiice.
For whatever reason, as of late, my spelling has suffered tremendously. I also get completely fucked up using there, their and they're now, interchanging them, as I'm sure my numerous posts will attest. I've also noticed that I'll skip words entirely, as if my brain is thinking to fast for me to type. And I don't know why either. It's almost as if my brain has said, "Well, if his fingers can't keep up, why should I have to slow down?"
Sounds like your brain doesn't like your new diet or something. Been hitting the ol' hookah?
words are inadequate and always shall be.

Your limerick needs a bit of work
^Oops... there it went. My last shred of respect for humanity. Off into space. How sad.
Well by in large and for all intensive purposes, I could care less. That's no bold face lie. And what's wrong with Commander and Chief, I thought they where one in the same?

Well, you can make my words, irregardless. It's a matter of supply and command.
I'm cuttin' off me penis,
and stickin' it in a jar,
and givin' it to the postman
who'll be takin' it where you are.
The judge said I can't be near you,
not within 50 yards,
but he never said I couldn't send
me penis in a jar.
Song title: Seduce Me Tonight (Flashdance OST) - My mom thought it was: "So Juicy Tonight"
Song Title: Elvira (Oak Ridge Boys) - My sister thought it was: "I'll Fire Up"

It's similar to the thing with song lyrics - it doesn't have to make a lot of sense for your brain to accept it. - For years, I thought the chorus to the B-52s song "Roam if you Want To" was "♪♪ Roll Misty Wattoo ♪♪"
I know, right?
