Juxtaposed variations

We have seen juxtopposed for juxtaposed on the Eggcorn Forum. Now here are some other variations:

So, Kuleshov further felt that just a position, placing side by side dissimilar elements should be inherent in all film signs. You already know what are signs, symbols and codes in cinema. So, according to Kuleshov and during his lectures at VGIK, shorts acquire new meanings when just opposed with what comes before and after.
cinema lesson

Two different eggcorns from the same acorn (well, the noun form and a verbal form of the same acorn) in the same paragraph!

And the court at that time said that it found it to be relevant because there was adjusted position of two things; and that is the indication of racial animus, that is the willingness to focus on an inter-racial couple just opposed with fabrication of probable cause, that he would make something up in order to stop them.
court case analysis

And here we have “adjusted position” for “a juxtaposition” and “just opposed” for “juxtaposed” in the same sentence!

Official reports, thus are invaluable sources for the reconstruction of history. But they have to be
always read the case and just opposed with evidence called from newspapers, unofficial accounts, legal records and, where possible, oral sources.
history studies

And in this example we have “just opposed” again, plus a bonus: “called from” for “culled from”!

Re: Juxtaposed variations

Wonderful. When the mind starts wandering in the happy fields of Eggcornwall, who knows where it will end up.

Re: Juxtaposed variations

Here are a few more examples of “just a position << juxtaposition” using the context “the just a position of.”

Some of these replacements may be cupertinos.
