My personal hate at the moment is more a mispronunciation rather than a mistaken word. it's clique, when people pronounce (or spell) it click.

Click is something my knee does in cold weather.
Clique (pronounced kleek) is a small, exclusive group of people.

I find it annoying when people mistake the difference between perplex and confuse.

To confuse is to make something incomprehensible; to cause an inability to think with clarity or act with intelligence or understanding. To confuse may cause embarrassment on a persons front by making something seemingly simple unclear or unnecessarily complex or baffling.

And by stark constrast in pronunciation 'perplex' is a type of plastic used in place of glass.

Are you sure you didn't mean Perspex?...

Clicky and clicky.

I often find it's a good idea to at least know what you are ranting about before you have your rant on a public forum. It spares ones blushes (not used for painting )

I am aware of what perspex is. The homophone is ringing, I think it's for you.

Brilliant G2D, keep your head below your perplex screen, No one will be befuddled anymore.

"Take a leak"

Take it where?
