I'm sure that you and I are excellent photographers, but what of
the rabble, you ask? Well, they're merely pedestrian footographers.

My parents' once made a two hour video of walking around Paris,
showing just their feet and the sidewalk, interspersed with the
voices of my mother telling my father that he had left the camera
on and my father replying that he had not.

Sounds like a snippet would make "America's Funniest Home Videos."

Ok. Your URL generated a google link to:

An eggcorn is a neologism suggested by Mark Liberman to denote
an idiosyncratic substitution of a word or phrase for a word or words
that sound identical, or nearly so, at least in the dialect the speaker
uses. Characteristic of the eggcorn, and its chief difference from
malapropism, is that the new phrase makes sense on some level
("old-timer's disease" for "Alzheimer's disease"). Eggcorns often involve
replacing an unfamiliar, archaic, or obscure word with a more common
or modern word ("baited breath" for "bated breath").

The question is, are you proud of, or are you willing to take
responsibility for legitimizing the use of the oft derided "baited
breath"? If so, we may be able to breathe a little easier.





Sounds fishy to me.

g It's one thing for him to have put his foot in his mouth, and
quite another to have captured the proof of it on video. Did he
save the tape or (conveniently) reuse it?

Too post-modern for me, I'm afraid. ;-(

This is a photography group so I'm afraid It's rather a mute point.

You mean you're not willing to discuss it.

They didn't do it on purpose, they were in their 80's, so
it wasn't post-modern but classical.

My father was quite excited that he had made a two hour
video of Paris...

I read something like "Good judgement comes from experience. And most
experience comes from bad judgement."

I like that!
