Add "under par" to that list; if you are under par you are playing well & probably feeling good, it should be "over par" if you're not feeling well.
Ok that note, fun fact time…. In older times sailors slept on deck. If they were ill they were taken below, especially if the weather was poor. That coined the term ‘under the weather’

I just presumed it was wank speak as I usually see it in places that have prices listed as 4.5 instead of £4.50
Never mind all that, what about those bottles of Sanatogen? There I am struggling to take the lid and then my eight year old niece comes in: “there you go uncle” and it’s off in a jiffy! Someone’s going to get hurt.
When people use “substantive” when they mean “substantial” and vice versa. I heard a journalist do it this morning, which is unforgivable.
Comes up in my work quite a lot as we have substantive office actions issued by various patent and tm offices and the amount of people who refer to them as substantial (mainly I’d imagine because there’s a lot of reading to do when one’s issued) is unreal/rather frustrating after the 100th time.
It can be, as there’s a small overlap, but both words are frequently misused. Just this morning I heard a journalist say that Axel Rudakubana had downloaded a substantive number of videos onto a tablet.
