The Eggcorn Database » Browse eggcorns

An eggcorn is a phrase containing a substitution of words (usually a homophone or a near homophone); yet, to the user of the phrase, it seems logically correct: "French benefit" for "fringe benefit" or a "mute point" for a "moot point," for example. by macopa Oct 23

Index of Previous Columns

A reader pointed out back in January 1997 that it would be nice to have an index to the columns arranged by the date on which they were originally posted, so that if one were not able to visit these pages for a week or two owing to serious illness or imprisonment in a foreign land (the only acceptable excuses, by the way, verified by a note from the relevant authority in either case, of course), one might be able to catch up all at once, rather than taxing one's noggin trying to remember which nuggets of deathless prose herein one had, as it were, already read.
