Hey, I’ve heard of the Statue of Liberty, but never of the Statue of Limitations. Pretty sure most tourists wouldn’t find that one worth visiting. It might prove to be a bust.
And still, this misused phrase shows up once in a while.
The correct wording is “statute of limitations,” and it’s
actually a legal phrasing. It refers to a specified time period, after which a
crime may not be prosecuted.
And we’ve never heard of a statue celebrating such a
statute.
