The following are only a few of the misconceptions in English language.

 

i.e - "that is"

e.g - "for example"

 

inspite - This should be written as "in spite"

 

on the way - I've only learned this back in my first yr of college and this literally translates to "pregnant".

 

till and 'til - The latter is an abbreviation for "until", however "till" has been used older than "until".

 

...worse come to worse...- This is only a traditional idiom but "worse comes to worst" is more logical.
