Actually I used whack because I assumed it meant someone who flailed at stuff unthinkingly. I never even thought of wacky. That's worse though. So she's nuts! Yikes.

I have spent months trying to change people's use of "nauseum". It's nauseAAAAAAAAAAm. I think they figure Latin needs a UM or something. But it's the feminine accusative. AMAMAMAMAMAMAM.
Homonyms don't bother me as much since I occasionally use them when I am thinking ahead of my fingers.

That and the wrong usage of 'effect' and 'affect' drive me insane.

This thread is one of the best for grammar and spelling though- not to mention coherent thought.
