Examples:
Intercourse (Intersection)
Strategery (strategy)
Mandolin (Mandarin)
Interwebs (Internet)
Such misuse of words could be classified as Freudian slips, improper grammar or Bushisms, or as an “eggcorn,” except when these errors occur due to aging. Symptoms of Geriacryolism typically begin in the 40’s, and increase over time in equal proportion to bowel problems. Geriacryolism may be associated with dyslexia, though this remains only theory to date.
