I couldn't find the malapropism thread, so I'm starting a new one with the
suggested word for the online malapropisms that have become common since the
rise of electronic written comunication.

A friend suggested that these should be called "billgates", singular
"billgate", because of the contribution of spelling checkers to their
proliferation

I have a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea ...

Perhaps we could make a collection of them, a kind of definitive list.

Here's what I have so far:

baited breath
pour over (books, newspapers etc)
tow the line
pre-madonna
another words
another thing coming
waisting time
long behold
for all intensive purposes
minus well
could care less
sort after

Any more?
