Language Goofs – Egg Corns

Hey there! I wanted to take a moment to chat with you about something important.

Whether you hole-hardedly agree or try to play doubles advocate, hear me out cuz this

is good. For all intensive purposes, it’s the little things that make our lives meaningful.

Sometimes, life can feel like it’s a diamond dozen. Yet even the challenges we face

can turn out to be a blessing in the skies. Putting the wrong things on a petal stool can

lead to big regrets so I urge you to mustard up the courage to appreciate what you

have. After all, it’s a doggy dog world out there, and we shouldn’t take our blessings

for granted.

Whoops, there are 6, can: a also can be pronounced as a schwa sound.

Tips: language: a is long a.
