My latest favorite is "pus jewels" for "pustules". Icky, but yet fantastic at the same time...

It would probably be silent movies.

thanks, now this forum may have a future. where would literature be without linguistics?

That's a pretty good site, for all intensive purposes.

You are so welcome. Oh, does everyone here know about eggcorns? An example would be "per say"... See http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/

Heh. You really are literate nerds! Yayl And thanks.

Since this is the literacy tribe, I feel compelled to mention that that is not what the phrase "begs the question" means. It does not mean something like "ask the question". Instead, it is a term of logic. To "beg the question" is to assume the thing that one is trying to prove. See http://begthequestion.info/ for more info.

Nice! I was just joking with the title of the post tribe whatever this is.....some favourite poem? some line?

I love Pessoa's poetry! But your topic begs the question: Do you have to know Pessoa to be a nerd? Just asking...
