Debate / defend / reject / submit examples here
This topic is particularly necessary to clarify the relatively new topic of eggcorns.
- Mythconception instead of misconception — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.151.49 (talk) 09:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- purgery instead of perjury. This is so common that the Misplaced Pages page for Purgery redirects to Perjury. Also see the Wiktionary page --Harikawashi (talk) 08:14, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- sneak peak instead of sneak peek — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.17.213.218 (talk) 01:48, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- "cup of chino" instead of "cappuccino" - this is one I often heard old folks say when I worked at a cafe Ballchef (talk) 23:49, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- "in the spirit of the moment" instead of the two listed already Ballchef (talk) 23:49, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

"beckon call" instead of "beck and call" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.221.89.72 (talk) 15:07, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- In season 7, episode 8 of Friends, the character Joey causes amusement by using the phrase "moo point" for "moot point." When questioned, he explains the idiosyncratic logic behind his eggcorn: "It's like a cow's opinion: it's just doesn't matter. It's moo."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ifdqEmlx-I|title=Friends - moo point|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=2013-03-27}}</ref>

Add a List instead of / in addition to the examples
Having the examples is nice, but I also think a list of these would be welcome, especially for people wondering which form is the correct form of a word. --Harikawashi (talk) 08:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- There are currently links to two lists of eggcorns in the External links section. A new stand alone list on Misplaced Pages might be created subject to policies on notability and verifiability, as well as the standards described at Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists.
