Mark Peters on Eggcorns
- and said:
As a post-secondary school sociology instructor, I frequently have the pleasure of coming across “eggcorns” in my students’ essay papers. I find it interesting how students try to make sense of what they read and hear, and it sure makes marking a whole lot more fun! My personal favorites are: “after all, we are just human beans” and “television has become an escape goat for many people”.
