I think keep them here.

Or is that queued? Kewed?

I think most "others" would spell it kewed, or even kewd - because it sounds right.

Another vote for keep them here.

When I came here from "across the pond" I thought Arkansas was pronounced Ar-kansas and Yosemite was pronounced Yohs-mite. Yohs-mite Sam just doesn't come off the tongue with the same rhythm.

If we had a different thread we'd have to weed-out the malapropisms from the eggcorns.

It is perfectly understandable for a foreigner to think that Arkansas is pronounced as Ar-Kansas.
After all, the state of Kansas is not pronounced as, "Kansaw".

And, the correct pronunciation of Yosemite would probably escape most folks who were not born here.
In fact, my 10th grade English teacher--who was born & raised in the US--pronounced that national park as, "Yohs-might".
I distinctly recall cringing when I heard Mrs. Forrester slaughter that word, as well as a few others.

I have now seen: deepseeded.

As in, "They have a deepseeded resentment of outsiders."

Actually, they could have thought about it and figured that it did make sense--a seed that was deep. It's just that it was a new one on me!

I was also wondering if these should have their own thread since they don't really fit the topic and some aren't annoying and the eggcorns are amusing.
Is this one?

If they don't really fit the topic, what is the topic?
