Description

Join us as we share a lighthearted conversation about eggcorns, malapropisms, and folk etymology. We explore how linguistic slip-ups—like confusing "Alzheimer's disease" with "old-timers disease" or "in one fell swoop" with "in one foul swoop"—become part of everyday language. We'll also take you through some amusing Spanish examples, from national anthem mix-ups to everyday misunderstandings. This episode is all about embracing the fun side of language evolution, reminding us that making mistakes is just part of the journey.

Key Takeaways:

  • Discover the concept of eggcorns and how they shape everyday language.
  • Learn about malapropisms and their impact on communication in both English and Spanish.
  • Hear amusing examples of how language mistakes become widely accepted over time.
