My main thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is "yea" without the H at the end, and conversely, writing yea or nay as "yay or nay". I just can't see yea without thinking "sounds like yay", so anyone using yea to agree with someone instantly sounds really silly in my head.
I've sort of learned to let it go and not complain about it when other people do it, mostly because it really is a typo a lot of time, and not willful ignorance. But when I do it, I can't just let it go--I have to go and "edit" it (or do that yeah* thing or +h or whatever).
But when people write yea or nay as "yay" or nay, there really is no excuse. It's not yay, you're not at a birthday party, write it properly, or use another expression that you know how to spell. Like, "yes or no".
Definitely was one that I really struggled with for a long time, until a friend pointed out that it contains "finite".
Jam it back in, in the dark.
