In case you're not Darth Illegitimus, the title of this blog refers to the common miswording of the phrase "for all intents and purposes". Intensive purposes now seems to be, at least from what I've encountered, more common than the proper way to word it. At least it makes marginally more sense than the newest variant: "for all intents of purpose", which just makes me want to slap your English teacher.
