Word: Calvary

[ravital]

You'd be surprised how many get these two mixed up:

Calvary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=calvary)
Etymology: Calvary, the hill near Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified
1 : an open-air representation of the crucifixion of Jesus
2 : an experience of usually intense mental suffering

Cavalry (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cavalry)
Etymology: Italian cavalleria cavalry, chivalry, from cavaliere
1 a : an army component mounted on horseback b : an army component moving in motor vehicles or helicopters and assigned to combat missions that require great mobility
2 : HORSEMEN (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/horsemen) a thousand cavalry in flight
