My sister has a habit of saying something is like “a milestone around my neck” which I am sure should be “millstone”. What do other forum users think?

Welcome, Hiljean! Peter Forster had a great post on millstones and milestones about a month ago: http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … p?pid=2914

Thanks for that – I browsed the index but could find no entry for millstone or milestone. Does this mean that items posted in the forum do not make their way to the index of eggcorns until someone “official” has written an entry? I find this website fascinating but am a bit puzzled about the way it works. :)
