On a commercial for a home electricity generator (viewed on The Weather Channel 8/30/2006) the narrator says at the end that people are taking a power blackout ‘in good stride’ instead of ‘in good stead’ or ‘in stride’. If that’s an eggcorn, it’s one that multiple people at the ad agency made up and approved.
