I'd spell cache as cache so Australians know it's pronounced like "cash" not like "kaysch".

I’m honestly amazed “alot” hasn’t been made an acceptable spelling of “a lot” by now.

Salmon as Samon
My poor GF knows English as a second language and was very embarrassed when I pointed out the L was silent, because she had been saying it that way her entire life.
But mostly to her parents who also speak Spanish, so mostly she was embarrassed that I had to tell her XD In Spanish you pronounce the L, so she didn't even consider that the L was silent in English (Because why would it be).
The L shouldn’t even be there in the first place. Why is it there just talking up unnecessary space?
