Although not really a proper language issue, one thing that is really grating me nerves recently in my primary field (Electronics) is people writing "soddering" rather than "soldering". What started out as someone's hastily attempted reading of a word that turned them into writing it incorrectly has now become a rampant virus. Goodness knows how many words have been formed through such a process.
(Really - one should teach those people how bad the word 'soddering' really sounds).
