When I was in Virginia City Montana last year doing research, I let my hair down a little and bought a ticket to one of those stage comedy shows.

They called all the men with beards up on the stage, so since I had my hair let down I had to take them on.

They had a contest where they would give each person a word and have them spell it backwards. I won hands down, and got a little prize. Only thing I ever won.

The word I see misused more and more often is "then" where the correct word is "than". Seems like this just started happening about 2 years ago or so. I'm seeing it in printed instructions on packages and I even saw it a while back on a TV commercial. I don't know why, but this one is particularly annoying to me.
