dce’s “ethic proportions” got me thinking. Yes! there are 1200 instances of “epoch proportions” on the Web! Not common, but surely a valid eggcorn. No one seems to have made the leap to “ethnic proportions” though, although ‘a comedy of ethnic proportions” would have made a good subtitle for “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”
