Interesting that the article comes originally from someone using "spit and Image" rather than "spitting Image" - when the former predates the latter so, in fact, spitting image is the Eggcorn
** EDIT:
I know it does point that out in the article - which is what I'm getting at - the article was about eggcorns, prompted by someone not using one.

A few of them are actually worth keeping, though -- "skimped milk", for example, appeals to my sense of satire.

I have iPhone (company), but atm I'm not affected.
Might it be because I have every auto-update, sync, icloud and all the rest deactivated?

Very smart choice. DEACTIVATE!!  Control what you get, instead of letting APPLE push it on you.

Don't be ridiculous! Apple knows better!
Don't you know that they invented the radius, which led to the invention of the wheel?!

Since when did it become cool to hate U2? I can't keep up with what's cool and what's not.

I've hated them for over twenty years, but that wasn't to be cool, that was because a lad at school thought they were the greatest thing ever and it really annoyed him to hate them.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Likewise, some kids at school started a band and all they sang were U2 pieces of crap which was more than enough to make me a life long member of the shun the pretentious vanilla music band.

I bought their Josha Tree album for $1.00 US at a place called BuyBacks.
Brand new for $1.00 US. Well, it's obvious they are disliked. I mean, $1.00?
Well, I listened to it and it is quite poetic and some decent music and I listened to it quite a few times.
I'm just so all confused about "with or without you..."
I don't know. But it is a decent album. That one guy, maybe thte guitar player...he doesn't have a name? they just call him The Edge?
Edge of what? Must be the pretentiousness.

|
|

I've hated them since they first existed, simply because Edge can't play the guitar and Bono... well, you just can't fix something like that.

It became cool when Bono became pretentious.

That makes sense. That's why I never follow the person, I just listen to the music. I could not tell you the name of a single person of any of the music I listen to.
Same thing with actors. Often times when you see how they are off camera it can be hard to like their movies anymore.

Co-worker: Who are you listening to now?
You: I don't know. I just grabbed a handful of CDs out of the bargain bin. I refuse to get to know their names.

He's not pretentious... He's just tired of being Number Two[^]
(Though honestly, I don't think I can name a single U2 song... They're musicians, right?)

I felt the same way, but I jumped on the bandwagon and now I feel like someone out there likes me, since I'm in with the crowd.

Not if your "freedom" starts hurting other people's safety. Google, those that package Android on their phones and Android end-users all have a responsibility to the internet at large to be good citizens. When your phone gets hacked we all suffer directly or indirectly.
