Analyzed or reported by:

_Mindgrain_ is a classic eggcorn, very much in the spirit of _eggcorn_ itself.

In the words of “maron101″, writing on his Mulitply page:

> Funny thing, I thought it was “mindgrain” because there feels like grain is growing out of my mind. Ok, so maybe it’s not that funny, but still anyone who ever felt shooting pain in their heads might relate.

Indeed.
