#45: Eggcorns Everywhere
The reasoning behind this next one seems pretty obvious. Say the two titles out loud: “interview with the vampire.” “Interview with a vampire.” if you say it fast enough, they sound pretty much identical, right? I’m not surprised that someone would get the two confused.
Actually, as a writer and editor, mistakes like this have always cracked me up, because you can see how the person got confused. Some other examples: “for all intensive purposes,”; “all of the sudden,” “pass mustard”; “could of”; and “stand at a tension.” These mistakes, sometimes called eggcorns, crack me up. But then, I’m a nerd, so take that for what it’s worth.
