Those aren't misused...
thats mishearing something and saying it incorrectly. They are still used properly, and there's a name for them: eggcorn.

Somebody on the MSB just posted "defiantly." 
See that a lot. Maybe an autocorrect thing?

I hate when people put "the" in front of something like.. "the sonic" "the walmart".
The native humans there will randomly add an "s" to the end of proper nouns but not in a possessive situation: Donna Summers, WalMarts, etcs (Hars!).
Linguistically, the (usually under-educated) folk there are in a convergence zone between cracker-speak and French-Caflick coastians/New Orleans and it has some odd manifestations.
It's true for "the" Kiln and Saucier (So-shure) Mississippi natives as well.
