A lot of these are words.
For example,
forte said "for-tay" is a musical reference,
but forte said "fort" is in regards to a sword or a strong point,
with nearly everyone pronouncing it "for-tay" for a strength.
I almost always hear this said "for-tay" when talking about a strong point.
Or cache,
should be "cash" when taking about your hidden weapons stash,
and only "ca-shay" when talking about the approval or style.
For not word stuff,
I, now without the military uniform equivalent,
have to go to a black tie event now and then.
Almost everyone is wearing the white tie collar shirts with their black bow tie.
The correct shirt is the turn down collar with black tie.
But it is almost to the point where no one knows that any more.
What other examples do you have of stuff done wrong so much it is becoming/has become "right?"
