 @Skinflaps_Meatslapper but the gold standard doesn't exist anymore. Former President Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard fifty years ago. 😏

 @pamm8608 I love Red Green!

 @FourthRoot those are genericized brand names.

@T-Tronic actually, that's tensile strength. Ductility is the ability of a substance to be drawn out in thin wires, like metals. Metals are characterized as being both ductile and malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets or foils).

 @michellejames2447 another egg corn! Used to repair gaffs or "oopsies" I suppose.

 @Hot_Guac well, if that's the case, then it is literarily the case! 😊

 @keven1956 and indeed not " proscriptive," or we'd never be able to say anything at all.

 @w.reidripley1968 Well, you have to secure your rattan sword somehow. You can't use real weapons in the lists.

No, you didn't mention an egg corn that I used. Some I did not know existed. The one that hurt me most is "chomping at the bit." It really is "champing at the bit." Ronald Reagan said "chomping at the bit," and it stuck. So many people say it because of him! It makes my heart hurt. But since horses champing is essentially munching on the bit in their mouth, chomping is not too far away. So it's an egg corn. 😭 And Reagan should have known better.

You missed an opportunity to make one: instead of "Give it a go," you could say, "give it a goal." or is that a malapropism? I claim it's an egg corn.
