My Word for the day

To do or to be...

Malapropism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A malapropism (also called a Dogberryism or Cramtonism) is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in a nonsensical, often humorous utterance. An example is Yogi Berra's statement: "Texas has a lot of electrical votes,"[1] rather than "electoral votes".
