Well, I was going to complain about 'dyslectic' (I've always said 'dyslexic'), but according to the OED either is perfectly correct (shows how much I know).
Instead, I'll mention an ex-colleague at work who was dyslexic (or dyslectic if you prefer). I often used to be called on to check through his work and once read through a long report he had written throughout which he used the word 'pesticide' where he meant 'postcode'. It certainly added an unexpected note to an otherwise dry discussion of a pretty boring piece of software testing.
