Which popular, though grammatically or logically incorrect, variants do you often hear in everyday conversations?
Like "he had another thing coming" and "I could care less", for example.

@Richard65 That's a colloquialism based on region. I try not to be too biased about that, tbh. Sometimes, it actually ends up following standard english rules, but because grammar teachers don't teach that, it's considered "wrong" when it actually isn't.
Though, I know what you mean. I have a coworker who says, "How's come?" And honestly, I laugh everytime because when I was in my 20's, a friend used to tease a friend mercilessly about a woman (a very weird and bizarre woman at that) who was dating his dad and she'd say that. So occasionally at random points, my friend would turn to the other and ask, "How's come, Pat? How's come?" And i just laugh lol
