This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

Eggcorn: a word or phrase that is mistakenly used for another word or phrase because it sounds similar and seems logical or plausible. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

I just discovered the Rob Words YouTube channel recently and this is an excellent video of his.

I especially liked his breakdown of the history of the term eggcorn and how it differs from similar linguistic phenomena.

Yeah, I loved the video! I actually watched that first before looking it up myself. People don’t seem to click on videos in this sub, but I still wanted to share the info and added the video if people were still interested in more.

The one that finally got me in the vid was “Full Reign”->”Full Rein”
