I think my favorite audio term screw up was a guy who kept posting Bose Acoustamass systems on my local Craigslist, but he always called the bass module the "sub-wolfer".
meaning you have the "balls" to give the poor little 80yr old lady...... whose husband died.....Short for scrotum..
though often disdained usage.
It's Subwoffer.
Everybody knows that.

Spelling may not be as 'impotent', but grammar and capitalization sure is:
"He helped his Uncle Jack off his horse".
--or--
"He helped his uncle jack off his horse".
