I believe you just used malapropism in a question as I did now in the response. Examples of malapropism are:
- I can "ensure" you that I know what I am talking about.
- I hate being under the "affluence" of alcohol.
For those that don't know a malapropism is using an incorrect word that sound similar to the intended word.
