Just an eggcorn that amused me.

This morning, I was sent a link that brought a smile. Definitely well timed.

An eggcorn is the practice of mistakenly replacing an unusual word (often archaic) with something phonetically similar. "Baited breath" is a fine example, as is "reeking havok".

Staples (UK), sells padded envelopes. On the details page, they helpfully add...

These padded postal bags are the ideal choice for those items that need that added protection, or for that extra piece of mind.

Making things easier for Igors the world over.
