For all intents and purposes, using the oral transformation "for all intensive purposes" makes you look like a retard, especially when talking to a semi-intelligent audience.

I agree.

Whenever I see the phrase "intensive purposes", I can't help but think of how unread and undereducated that person is.

is it "down the pipe" or "down the pike" when referring to something coming up in the future ? I've heard both used...

People who say "i could care less" generally are being sarcastic (or I suppose, some could be actually really dumb)

It's not always "couldn't."

I don't know, there may be a few intensive purposes for the phrase "intensive purposes".

It's THE WORST.

"Some new projects are coming down the pipe." is the right way. Pike is something you stab people with. Ever heard "What's coming down the pipeline these days?" - there is no pikeline!
