ala Google: The two phrases have different meanings. "Looking forward" means to think about the future and what might happen. "Looking forwards" means to look at something that is in front of you.

Damn that means every other overly formal email I’ve ever written probably has a typo

kind of a requirement I feel like. At least half of all work correspondence I get (or honestly send too) has at least one.

Last frame from a meme comic showing a girl waking up at night, shocked by something (the earlier frames generally show her brain telling her something stupid but concerning)

As non native speaker, I don't think I've ever heard the "forwards" version

I think my brain bridges the gap between the “d” sound and the “to” sound with an “s”… somehow

Also apparently there was a difference in meaning between "I'm looking forward to" and "I look forward to", but that course was a great many winters ago...

Funny thing is that as a native speaker I said the same thing, then said “oh no, that’s actually how I always say it” lol
