Thanks for the video.
I think we all probably develop or create eggcorns in our youth when we are listening to adult conversations and mishear what the adults are saying.
I’ve heard it described as a natural process engaged in by the fertile and creative human brain/mind. And that’s true, as far as it goes. But I’ve also read commentary suggesting that to the extent a young person strives to become well read, the number of eggcorns that they will end up entertaining in their fertile mind will be numerically limited in the first instance, and those that do crop up over time will be significantly time limited (since they will eventually read in written form the original (and presumably correct) expression).
This Guy gives a “+1” to those comments—it’s generally been true in his life.
Everyone should strive to be well read.
In the meantime, eggcorns, malapropisms, etc., are a total hoot!
