I just saw it again a few minutes ago, which reminded me, but one that gets to me is "emphasize" instead of "empathize." I was seeing it so often that I was starting to wonder if there was an alternate definition of emphasize that I wasn't aware of, but I can't find any evidence of that in any dictionary. So a lot of people I guess really are just misusing it.
