Just admit that you heard it somewhere and ran with it and leave it at that.

Linguists who invented the term used 'cues'. They still do.

Laypeople who heard 'cue' and thought they heard 'clue' changed it to 'context clues'.

And it doesn't matter because everyone knows it's the same basic idea behind both terms. It was fun watching you google yourself silly over it though.

Feel free to keep digging yourself into a hole on this.



The usage is 57:1 in favor of "context clues" over the past five years for general usage and 23:1 in favor of "context clues" over the past five years in published papers.
