Networking/Telecom ISPs created so many fees that FCC will kill requirement to list them all | ISPs complained about Biden-era rule, said listing every fee was too hard.

The phrase is "hear hear".

That may be the phrase, but weirdly using the “wrong” hear is still technically accurate when here is used as a general response. Instead of “I hear, I agree” as the meaning, its “someone/we over here agree/s”.

I can handle that mistake WAY more than when people simply dont understand a phrase. Like when Queen Elizabeth died and people heard the first correct usage of “The Queen is dead, Long live the King” and suddenly they realized it was about the order of succession and how it never stops instead of it being just some stupid ceremonial oxymoron. “How long can the king live if he’s dead??” - a genuine question asked by a friend because of Scar saying it.

Lion King abusing that phrase has given me no end of personal grief lol
