> EU legislation on power chords

Regular major and minor chords were unaffected though :)

(I actually started reading this comment as a pun, as in "The EU can regulate music streaming - they already regulated power chords", and that made me smile)



I thought the same thing and was going to reply before I saw your comment. I wonder if there’s a term for typos/mis-spellings that form an unintended word or phrase that still makes sense for that particular context.

Whatever it is, it needs to be a pun on "oak trees", because they're _eggcorns_ that grew up.
