Hi friends
We've outgrown this 800-pixel wide website and we're moving to new digs.While we pack up our things (i.e. articles and videos and stuff), we're shutting down commenting and new registrations on the current site.
Our new site is up and running at GOOD.is/.
Yours,
GOOD

As a post-secondary school sociology instructor, I frequently have the pleasure of coming across "eggcorns" in my students' essay papers. I find it interesting how students try to make sense of what they read and hear, and it sure makes marking a whole lot more fun! My personal favorites are: "after all, we are just human beans" and "television has become an escape goat for many people".
