I acted her, many many moons ago 
But malapropisms and eggcorns, though they are sometimes amusing and harmless, are still pernicious. I looked at the Huff post list and oh dear oh dear what a dismal litany of semi literacy.
Hereâs an amusing set, even though it sets my teeth on edge.
Oh, Excellency!
âA doggy-dog worldâ I can live with 
I find it annoying when people pronounce anything as anythink.
The number of words which people actually come out with and which are totally wrong is definitely increasing.
Wicked and sick immediately springs to mind
But to those who use it today it means what they think it means, different generation different times.
Absolutely right.
Language is, and always should be changing. After all, the venerable Shakespeare was not so sanctimonious about the language and made up quite a few words we all now use.
The defining line may lie in where the word use is intentional, rather than accidental. A grammatical mistake can be confounding and confusing
He wasnât venerable at the time, he was a jobbing actor who wrote plays and invented words, thousands of them. How marvellous though. Heâs only venerated now because of hindsight 
Can you imagine though how fantastic Shaks and Marlowe and Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher, Webster and Tourneur and Middleton and Dekker, then Dryden and Sheridan and Congreve and Behn and Wycherley all theoretically in your lifetime?
Hmm, I might have to go and cut a few dead trees up, or clear some brambles with the brush cutter. That sounds just about special enough.
Isnât that just local accent/habits, like aks for ask, and tink for think? Our patch of London was full of this pronunciation.
Ooops⌠we did that one year and failed to properly clear up the bits/rubbishâŚ
Sadly, every small bit of bramble which was left on the ground⌠swiftly became another raging plant/bush/plague⌠
Now we don very thick gloves etc⌠and do it much more carefully with secatures/garden forks etc⌠aiming to hack/pull/get the plants out roots and all⌠and itâs quite alarming to see how each branch has rooted (sometimes several times) wherever it touches the ground.
Very time consuming but worth the effort as far as our patch is concernedâŚ
I am a repeat offender, so they have little chance to grow back 
, or do so very slowly, which gives me time to cut them back again in 6 months time.
As the whole wood, nearly 7500 m2 was covered in them, over the space of 2 years Iâve managed to cut out and maintain pathways without too much of a problem, other than the time spent of course. In the end, theyâll grow back, but for as long as I can keep up, Iâm not too bothered

May 6, Tottenham v Crystal Palace.
another win for Roy
Letâs hope so, the mighty eagles are soaring at the moment
No change planned to Saturday routine, Figeac market for wine and coffee, followed by market watching with a pastis at La Monnaie.
Definitely on the cards, Spurs are sooo âSpurseeyâ at the moment.
They keep snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I was always puzzled and annoyed by this (and most other things), but apparently aks has a long history dating back to Chaucer. My current bugbear is âcoronateâ. TV folk in the US and, increasingly, in the UK use it instead of âcrownâ. The OED reportedly lists this abomination as a proper word. Mind you, the dictionary just reflects whatever nonsense has become popular among the dafties. If enough people start calling cats dogs, itâll make it into the dictionary.

I love ee cummings, I like his paintings and drawings too
What wonderful thread drift, especially as I was at least 5 postings into it before I realised what the title was all about. 
As you can guess from that, I will not be glued to the telly that day or having anyone round for drinks.
Bit like any other day then? 
Doesnât coronate sound so much like decapitate, or is that just wistful thinkingđ
