How about when people use the word borrow when the mean lend or loan, as in, "would you borrow me some money?"
We actually mentioned that one previously, but at the rate that this thread is growing, that mention might have been 20 or more pages ago.
In any event, it appears to me that this gaffe is mostly uttered in the Southern States, where the preferred way of saying it is something along the lines of, "Can you borry me some money?".

I"m a life long Southerner and do not remember hearing it here.
There have been a few times the other boys played with him with girl toys, like barbies, but they played with them like they were boy toys and made them girl rambos! He has grown out if that faze.

Another one:
So please bare with me while I share my problem
LOL, do we have to undress to read the post?!?!?
I've seen "bare" for "bear" about three times in the past day or so on CD. "Bare the burden", for example.

It's that ongoing problem that so many people seem to have nowadays with homonyms.
Whether the mistake takes place in regard to bare/bear, or two/too/to, or your/you're, or sight/cite/site, or break/brake, or any number of other sound-alike words, the only explanation that I can come up with (aside from not paying much attention in English class) is that these folks don't do much reading.
