Repulsive Barnacle side note: at work I often read notes and things from people without much background in writing/language, and there are so many times I've seen people use jive instead of jibe. Actually, I've heard people use it in conversation too.

Giant Ant I haven't run into that, that I've noticed, but I can visualize it happening. I catch myself on occasion using the wrong word. I have to wonder how much of it originates first from speech. For instance, accent. I was raised in New York where dog sounds more like douhg. Similarly, a lazy "b" in jibe could become jive as we type what we hear in our head.
