Here's an eggcorn that had me confused for too many years. (I refuse
to divulge how recently I learned otherwise.)
The point is mute, or a mute court, instead of, of course, moot.
It kinda makes sense which is probably why I kept it for so long.

P.S. I also like the substitution of trooper for trouper, found for
example, in "She kept right at it like a good trouper."
This one also makes sense with both meanings.
