My biggest one is roll/role. I'm an actor and theatre technician and see that from other actors and theatre adjacent people more than I should. It's a role you play, not a piece of bread.

Spelling related tangent: do you differentiate between theatre and theater?

Yes. I was taught "theatre" is for plays, musicals, etc as it pays homage to the history (Shakespeare and the like) . "Theater" is reserved for the movies or theater of the mind.
