Did you know that Merriam-Webster lists “goose bumps” as an open compound?
This isn’t a terribly common word I come across, but whenever I do, it’s quite often misspelled. I attribute this to the massively popular Goosebumps children’s book series. As a child of the ’90s, these books were everywhere. They also had the coolest covers.
I’m 100% on board with giving kids spooky stories to read. It’s just unfortunate that the side effect is ingraining a misspelling in them that they carry forward into adulthood when they become writers.
