For the past 15 years or so, every night before bedtime I would proclaim “Time to hit the shack!” or “I’m going to hit the shack”.

In reality it is a “sack” that you hit, not a “shack”.

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

*edit: Fixed a spelling mistake. It's still early here... :-p

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 had a colleague some years ago, who consistently said 'add hook' instead of 'ad hoc'. I never had the heart to correct him.

The real question is for those people who heard you make this proclamation.
