@noelle @jordyd I suspect "mine" originated from the first toddler.

@RecursiveRabbit @noelle
(stealing some kids sweet roll) mine own!

@noelle @jordyd and then we have words like “uncle” which were originally “nuncle” but the N migrated across the space!

@fluffy @jordyd Ah, that's the example I was looking for earlier! I used "orange" instead (originally "a narange", as seen in Spanish "naranja" etc.).

@noelle @jordyd yeah that’s a good one! and then there’s the reverse that happens sometimes, like “an other” -> “another” -> “a whole nother”

@fluffy @noelle a whole nother -> a’nother

@jordyd @noelle an othern’t’ve

@noelle Huh. Guess I finally know why so many old hymns used the phrase "Mine eyes". That used to drive me nuts as a grammar-obsessed adolescent.
