Yep, same here.
I hear "spitting image" too often to count. I just read that in a book recently too, "She was the spitting image of her father..." It's "spit and image"
And "for all intensive purposes" instead of "intents and purposes"
"Past muster" for "passed muster" I also read that not too long ago. Pulled me right out of the story.
