Pacific, disoriented and communial!!!!
Pacific being used instead of specific is my pet hate. The Pacific is an ocean so putting it into sentences such as 'I can't give a pacific time' makes no sense whatever!!!! Does nobody know that or have the rules changed when I wasn't looking?
Another one that gets me is disoriented in place of disorientated. Did that word get officially shorted?
There's a case of extra letters in the new word 'communial'. Was the word communal not long enough?
I know I'm a pedant but these things really bother me. I won't even get started on apostrophes.

"I like this thing more then that thing"
or
"I reckon you should be doing this rather then that"
To my mind this suddenly started appearing about a year ago - I had never seen it before than. I mean then.
I actually pointed this out to someone at work after she had written it - "Dyslexia" was the not entirely unexpected answer. Not only does that continue to be an extremely over used excuse for sloppiness (although I respect its standing as a real condition), it also seems to be an awesome way to advance your career.
