Here's a couple of recently / frequently read vocabulary errors:
Viral for virile (he filled me with his viral seed really does not have good connotations, guys, honest!)
Peek, peak and pique:
to pique is to prick ... He piqued my interest
to peek is to peep or sneak a look
to peak is to reach a summit or high point, so I peaked at him through my fingers or I sneaked a quick peak at him, is pretty meaningless, I'm afraid!
More as I get time (anyone want a run-down on the old apostrophes, your, their and its lists?)
