I recently read a just-published Harper Collins paperback. It had 'here' and 'hear' confused, and several times used 'diffused' when it should have been 'defused.' I wasn't entirely sure about 'diffused' as it could have been American usage, but hear/here is basic. I thought someone should have been fired for that.
