Today’s grammar musing: I know there’s a term for this but I’m not going to google it… Basically it’s when someone writes down a common saying but gets it wrong by substituting a word that sounds the same. Examples: “tow the line” (should be “toe the line”) or “shoo-in” (should be “shoe-in”).

A new one I saw today is “suped-up” instead of “souped-up.” The funny thing about a lot of these is that you can mentally make them make as much sense (or more sometimes, especially if you don’t know the origin of the phrase) as the original.

This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder about how language works to “create” meaning in our minds. Interesting stuff (to me at least).

We got a bird feeder (with a camera that takes photos of birds that use it) as a delayed wedding gift and put it up last week, and we found at least one customer who really likes it:
