An Eggcorn Is A Commonly Misspoken Word Or Phrase — Let's Find Out If You've Been Using Them As Much As Everyone Else
I'll be waiting with baited breath to see the results.
You may have heard the term "eggcorn" before. For those who haven't, an eggcorn is a commonly misheard/misspoken/misspelled word or phrase where the similar sounding incorrect version is as ubiquitous (if not more so) than the correct version.
It's named "eggcorn" after what is perhaps the most famous example of this phenomenon: The way many people pronounce the word "acorn" despite the fact that there's neither an "e" nor a "g" in the word.
