The one that most annoys me is journalists writing "runway" when they mean "taxiway" or "tarmac". I mean, FGS, they take planes all the time but they don't know the simplest airport terminology. It's unforgivable given the circumstances of their job, whereas getting battleship wrong is a lot more excusable. Many have probably never even been to sea.

They are called runways in US. But another error is using underway for building projects and otherwise. In that usage it is always two words. Underway as one word is strictly a naval term for boat, ship or fleet movements.
