Okay I have a good one.
I learned to speak a little Spanish for some of my pharmacy patients. After some confusing and funny looks, someone was kind enough to tell me I was pronouncing daily, “diaria,” wrong. The way I was saying it was the Spanish pronunciation of “diarrhea.”

Once had a law professor spell it “Exspecially” in a PowerPoint slide. It even had the squiggly line underneath indicating that it was misspelled. Yeh, I didn’t put much confidence in her Evidence class after that.

We read an essay called "The Problem with Euthanasia" (required a response assignment) and a student from the previous semester (according to prof) handed in an assignment about "the Problem with Youth in Asia"

Lady in interview said “we are looking for some long jeopardy around here!” … she meant longevity

Not the most often misused but the word I find misused at the highest percentage is "nonplussed". It is generally used to mean just the opposite of its actual meaning, I assume since in an SAT type breakdown it is difficult to get correct. People hear the word and repeat it at the "right" time but just say something different than they meant then the other person can be confused because while unlikely it may be exactly what they mean.

More of a phrase, but the poster that said “blessing in the skies” instead of blessing in disguise

Most every use of the word “myriad” and the examples of “irony” and “ironic”.
Very easy to get wrong. There are myriad examples in this thread.

One might even say a plethora but not really a cornucopia.

Yeah "myriad OF words" is often mistaken.
"Fair to midland" will sneak up and bite ya if you're not correctly apprised of the fact that it's "fair to middling".

4 pages in and I’m shocked that nobody has mentioned the classic: “credick or debick?”

Once a word is mispronounced at our house, that’s the way we say it for kicks. I had a co-worker pronounce it amalampse often.
