That could be drawn up as a cartoon.
From Seinfeld: statue, statute.

This ambient piece of music is very glacial, nocturnal, and corpuscular. Crepuscular.
A gantlet is a gauntlet. That was the word’s original spelling. A gauntlet also has another meaning of a type of glove.
Bemused/amused perhaps? In a similar manner, disinterested/uninterested?
Jibe/jive.
Confusion between phase and faze is something I see all the time.
Site and Cite
Usually they get web site correct.
I groan when someone sites a source.
Viscous/Vicious
This does not explain the unconscious part.
A few I have encountered in the wild:
raze/raise
quagmire/quay
“run the gauntlet”/“run the gamut”
venial/venal
envelope/envelop
all ready/already
altogether/all together
you’re/your
its/it’s
they’re/there/their
tortuous/torturous/tortious
reek/wreak/wreck/wrack/rack
tack/track
weather/whether/wether (as in bellwether)
away/aweigh
Discrete/discreet.
My favorite (from a spell on a radar detector board) was “wreckless” when they mean “reckless” (as in driving). Made even more hilarious by the fact that the former means almost exactly the opposite of the latter.

Climatic and climactic.

I think we’re going to need to coin “anti-climatic” as of this week.
Gross and grotesque.
That one is tough, since many venal acts are also venial.
