My two are Literally, and Crescendo. I really hate it when they are used wrong, and now the wrong answers are considered acceptable. That means Literally actually holds no meaning at all, and by changing the definition of Crescendo, the last 500 years of Western Music Theory have been changed by people who have no understanding of music at all.
I think "whence" is a near-perfect example. "Whence" means "from what origin".
The word is used nearly exclusively in the phrase "from whence it came", or "from (from what origin) it came"
Love it.
