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."
