Friday coffee break: Eggcorns


If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, then you may have to check your own nest for eggcorns: When you really care about a cause, do you try to strum up support? Are you a perfectionist who hates to do things half-hazardly? Do complex moral issues fill you with a paralyzing cognitive dissidence? And finally, are you tired of paying exuberant prices?

I love "half-hazard." It combines haphazard and half-assed and is perfect for conveying the sort of carelessness that stems from not giving a damn.

(Is profanity allowed here?)
