We have 'retention ponds' in Texas for flood control. My sister keeps calling them 'detention ponds' even though I have corrected her several times. I finally explained to here that a detention pond is where water would go if it broke the law. She didn't get it. :facepalm:

It's just like people saying 'nukular' in place of nuclear. You can explain it a thousand times, and they will still say 'nukular.'
