I feel like I used to see way more dangling clauses and misplaced modifiers than this type of homophone confusion, but at least since a few years ago when I started saving them this way, I've found far more eggcorns and homophone substitutions. I suppose this is more likely to mean that the modifiers and clauses are simply more memorable, and not that there's been some massive sea change away from them, but it does feel like that.

  • friend who was currently burrowing his brows at his text

  • "making such a fuzz"

  • all manor of things

  • "That's rather foreword for you, isn't it?"

  • a weird summer salt

  • his face was red with anger and his hair had gone esque
