For all intensive purposes, they're the same. (I'd been saying "intensive" instead of "intense and" until my mid 20s)

oof!! yes, embarrassing on my part for sure... it's still super early on a Monday here. I do know that it's "intents", that was just my fingers typing out the wrong word... corrected my comment.

I thought you did it on purpose as a nod to the OP making the same kind of mistake. Should run with that story

My original comment was "I'd been saying "intensive" instead of "intense and" until my mid 20s"

I even had the "correct" version wrong! The first was a nod to op, the second was a goof on my part. :-p
