“Ground floor” vs. “first floor” Did you end up in the garage? That's where I usually assume G will take me. |

Name for words created from mispronunciations? Mondegreens arise from mis-hearings, not mispronunciations. The error is on the listener's side, not the speaker's so ... related, but not it. Eggcorn is pretty good, though. |

Manifest vs. Manifested in relation to the glory or presence of God Can you clarify your question a little? Are you interested in the meanings of the two words and how they differ, or just whether the author can use the two words interchangeably? |

Putting “interested” before the noun a little punctuation, a little capitalization |

Why does “pre-” change the meaning of “dominantly” to mean “for the most part; mainly”? It makes your question moot -- if "pre" is not a prefix in this case, then asking how "pre" changes "dominantly" is an unanswerable question. Kind of like how you can't figure out what the "pre" is doing in "preemption" because "emption" isn't a word in English -- "preemtion" came as a whole word from Latin and trying to break it into parts just doesn't work. |
