  • Is It "Beck and Call" or "Beckon Call"?

    If you’ve ever mistaken beck and call for beckon call, you’re not alone. Using beckon call does make sense — after all, you're “beckoning” and “calling.”

    However, the actual phrase is beck and call. Writing it as "beckon call" is an example of an eggcorn — a phrase that sounds identical to another when spoken out loud, and only appears incorrect when written out. Say it however you want in conversation, but make sure you write it as "beck and call.”

You set the box down with a thump as you stare at each other. “How can I be with a person who says it like that?” you each think. Don’t call the divorce lawyer yet, because guess what — you’re both wrong.
