algorism.

But these are not eggcorns. An eggcorn requires the substitution for one legitimate word for another, with the substitution actually making some kind of sense. For example, I've encountered rottweiler-->Rockwell, which I find hilarious, and just today a nationally-syndicated advice column had "visa-versa."

--Anyway, though, my "collection" is restricted to eggcorns unintentionally perpetrated in postings to *this list.*
