It isn’t an eggcorn. It’s simply a horribly mangled phonetic spelling.
But that’s as it should be - Google is only helping you find what’s out there, not creating it.
Your editor’s right. It’s a perfectly cromulent word!
Anyway, I think we should be able to just make words up as we go-goesalongway
I reread the email the editor sent me, and now I’m cringing even more. He claims that in addiction to the people telling him it was a real word, he also found it on the Internet. I’m not sure which is worse - using the word to begin with, or claiming it is a real word because he found it on the Internet.
He does give a little, though, when he says “your word makes more sense.” So I just want it known that “undulate” is my word. Mine. Please don’t use it without written permission from me. If you need a word that means “rolling”, I suggest you make one up.
That’s not “giving a little”, that’s a total climbdown. It’s self-righteous-prick-speak for “I was totally wrong, you were right, but I’d sooner die than admit that to you.” 
I was going to say that a varied and imaginative vocabulary will embiggen any man.
:dubious:
Never mind. You’ll get a new editor when this one is abducted by Nigerian scammers.
For all intensive porpoises, that’s a perfuctly good utilization of that word. I would of used it in the same way two.
The guy’s an editor? How the hell did that happen!?
That’s actually spelled “yoodle-i-zayshun”.
I knew before I even started this thread that I was damning myself. There is no way you can start a spelling or grammar thread without misusing/misspelling a word at least once. I accepted my fate before my fingers hit the keyboard.
It’s called ‘Gaudere’s Law’. But don’t worry: anyone can make a Freudian slit.
What if all I have is Jungian scissors?
Just don’t run with them.
Or onjulate. That could get ugly.
Didn’t he write The English Patient?
