My personal pet peeve in this area is the inappropriate use of the
word "router", as in "I'm going to router a groove in it." "Router"
is a noun and describes the tool, while "rout" is the verb and
describes the action performed with the (noun) tool.


The closer proximity of the 'r' key to the 'e' key on a standard
keyboard often leads me to mistype an 'r' after an 'e' even though
I know better. As in 'planer' instead of 'plane'. Oftent the result
is a real word so it does not stand out when proofreading or spell
checking.
