I noticed this one in an explosives chemistry forum (speaking of charcoal
types):

"... 18v dewalt saw-zaw ..."

A society in which the members cannot communicate any technical

The worst part of it is there are so many things that sound the same
(or close) or are spelled close to the same that are TOTALLY different
- and getting the wrong word into a technical spec can REALLY screw
things up when the guy following the instructions knows less about the
engineering than the engineer knows about the instructions he has
written.
