doesn't it drive you crazy when people say things like "numerous of times" or "for all intensive purposes"?

...and they think they sound really smart?

Update:

'Obvious Queenie'...I hope you are joking because the term is: "for all 'INTENTS' and purposes." (not "all INTENSIVE purposes"!)...my point....
