    Another useful resource stumbled upon around the blogs today:

    The Eggcorn database

    I'd never heard of the term 'eggcorn' before, but I certainly get that BDOTGNZA feeling whenever I hear people refer to "a damp squid".

    "Scots. And Erse."?

    I am no expert at grammar and as such seek to query use of the word "And" at the beginning of a sentence. Is this a correct use of the word?

    Or those who "change tact". Sigh.

    And starting a sentence with "and" or "but" is OK as long as it's not overdone. Apparently.

    Give us a brake. Now you'll be telling us it's ok to start a sentence with a preposition. Instead of "Take him down".
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Shouldn't that be "break"? Or are you trying to stop something?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Get with the program. This is KB, where nothing is necessarily what it seams...

    Actually, there is - if one were to desire a golden lily, f'rinstance.

    However,

    To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
    To throw a perfume on the violet,
    To smooth the ice, or add another hue
    Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
    To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
    Is wasteful and ridiculous excess...

    Motorbike Camping for the win!

    Bit of a thread dredge, but here's one for all the BDOTGNZA folks out there, especially Hitcher (Warning, probably not entirely work friendly!)
