That one bugs me too. Also "affects" and "effects".

The one that used to drive me crazy was when people say "axed" instead of "asked". Even educated people would say it. I wanted to shake them.

I had a Hispanic guy that worked for me one time. He used to write just like he talked. And then get upset when I used to correct his papers before they went anywhere. Tried to accuse me of being against him because of his race...
This was also a guy that directed our contractor to put sand color paint over olive green carc paint and turned the Jordanian radars pink, just in time for their visit. Needless to say, they were not amused.
