    And they both have a hard 'c', and end in -al. I know how these kinds of issues work. :-)

    "You're assuming..."
    They say it here like
    "Correlation does not imply causation"
    A lot.

    It gets mixed up along with anecdotal as well.

    I don't want to blame old age. I stole a phrase I read online, "my kids ate my brain". My son thinks it happened when they were in my belly.

    Ah, rats. I was going for "horse hockey".

    My vocab-recall is identical! I can hear the cadence of a word and usually get a near-sounding word /phrase. My family thinks I'm crazy when I try to explain it. I STILL get made fun of for a highly-competetive game of Taboo circa 1995. In the rush to get my sister to say "race horse", I shouted out, "Never shoot a ______ _______ in the mouth!"

    ...I meant, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth." No one believed me that shoot and look are similar because of the double O's. Instead they held tight that I had indeed cheated in school.
