A bit off topic but I've noticed people can't spell definitely.

The cretins of Picayune are famous for this malaprop.

And they also will add an "s" to nouns for no apparent reason not meaning the possessive form.

Donna Summers, Walmarts for two examples.

Still technically a word, although definitely nonstandard and used incorrectly

I used to say going Ham all the time, and I didn't know it was an acronym. One of my bosses heard me say it, started to chew me out, and then realized I was an idiot.

Guy that works for me said he came home from school one day and his dad asked him how he did in the spelling bee and he told him he missed the word posse. His dad told him hell no wonder you couldn't spell it you can't even pronounce it right.
