    At least this is somewhat technical so I can see why people will screw it up.

    Others:
    axed | asked
    except | accept
    should of | should have
    loose | lose
    Land mower | lawn mower (yes really)

    you'd think so but they're phonetically the same

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accept
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/except

    Main Entry: ac·cept
    Pronunciation: ik-ˈsept, ak- also ek-\
    Function:verb



    Main Entry: ex·cept
    Pronunciation: ik-'sept
    Function: preposition
