Mental acuity

Via Aaron Rupar:

“Millions of American small businesses, including restaurants, dry cleaners, corner stores — what is a cornerstore? I’ve never heard that term. I know what a cornerstore is, but I’ve never heard it described — a corner store. Who the hell wrote that, please? And more.“
His pronunciation makes me think that he might have been confusing corner store and cornerstone. I’ve transcribed to suggest that possible confusion.

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. Corner store.
