Up most respect

[clarityneede]

It wasn’t a typo, they kept repeating ‘up most respect’ for property. I appreciate the sentiment, but it really irritated me!

There’s already another thread on this, just seen it. At least I’m not alone!

It's very Trump. A very up respect. The most up respect. So big, so up.

I work in copyediting/copywriting and have had to tell actual copywriters it's not 'upmost'. 🙄

I've recently come across 'stepped foot into ' instead of 'set foot'. Like nails down a blackboard...

I suppose it derives from a confusion with ‘uppermost’?

That’s been around for a long time, but I agree, it’s maddening.

I’ve just read ‘upmost’ in a Guardian article. A Home Office spokesperson said they would treat cases “with the upmost care….etc”.

I never knew that was wrong!
