Eggcorns on BBC Radio 4

[Benjamin Zimmer]

Michael Quinion and I were interviewed by BBC Radio 4 on the subject
of eggcorns. Streaming audio is available here:

(Click on "Listen to the latest edition"  -- segment starts about 21
minutes in.)

In the interview I made sure to plug Chris Waigl's Eggcorn Database,
but sadly that part was edited out (along with many of the finer
points of eggcornology from Michael and me).
