One of the worst for me is when people say physical when they mean fiscal. Our Pike County Fiscal Court is commonly referred to as the Physical Court. Ohh drives me crazy.

 

Another good one is "for all intensive purposes" when the phrase is "for all intents and purposes"One more that comes to mind is when people say excape or expecially when they mean escape or especially.

 

I never use this one because I can never remember which one is correct!
