Language Log mentions this, plus other eggcorny links, including the first post there about them in 2003. Note that it has taken until now for the word to make it into Merriam-Webster, but it made the OED in 2010 and the AHD in 2011. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day.

Ah, yes. Loved the links on Language Log. Still, I get eggcorns, malapropisms and mondegreens mixed up. | |||
