Excess of access

You often see excess and access on lists of homophones that are often confused, but I don't actually see those substitutions that often in reading fanfiction, which is where I typically see homophone confusions. The published novels of Cyril Hare, though, systematically use "access" for excess, which is quite bemusing because they're so old. I didn't think they'd already started getting rid of copy editors in 1950.

Count Chocula's Hawaii cloning scheme

Last night I dreamed that Wax's mom had rented a share of a summer cottage in Hawaii because that was where everyone was getting them now because they were cheap there, for her summer vacation, and she took us there, but it turned out to be inside a mall and then she said to me, "They have your daughter here, you know."

I was like, "But I don't have a child! Wait, you mean they cloned me?"

Then she nodded really solemnly and said "Count Chocula does."

"The breakfast cereal?!" I was so confused for a second and then I realized it must be because of that spelling bee I won. (In reality, I've never entered a spelling bee. ) "Is Count Chocula just out in Hawaii cloning all the winners of that spelling bee?!"

and she was like "I guess so! They've got plenty of space!"
