Lots of people seem to have trouble with bias vs biased. I don't know how many times I've read stuff like "Not to be bias but..."

I say "probally" instead of "probably". I caught myself doing it yesterday and now it is driving me crazy.

Another one I've seen quite often on message boards is dominant vs. dominate.

i.e. Player x was dominate in that period.
Players can dominate (verb), or they can be dominant (adjective).

One I recently heard is from my grandma.

"I need you to drive me to the kwop"

"The kwop?"

"Yeah, you know, the grocery store......"

"Oh, the CO-OP"
