editWhat's the difference between a folk etymology and an eggcorn? It seems POV.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 23:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- "Folk" implies it's a result of common (uneducated) usage becoming popularized & accepted as an origin for a word (etymology); an eggcorn is typified & even defined as originating from a single person's error. Steve8394 (talk) 23:30, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
