I take too much delight in things like this… In the space of two days, I ran across dueling malapropisms, one in an e-mail and the other in an Amazon review. And both concerned someone named Ron!
I need to coin a term better than “dueling malapropisms.” I’ll save that for another substantive (ahem) post.
E-mail:
“Last year I preached the funeral service for Ronald Pasch in Oswego. . . several people shared interesting antidotes about Ron.”
Amazon review:
“Dr. Ronald Horton’s book is a welcomed anecdote to those condemning a life with (persistent) sorrow.”
