All too often seen in military sci-fi:

Reticle = The crosshair in a telescopic sight.

Reticule = a small woman's purse.

Sometimes I wonder if the first was deliberately left out of a certain word processor's dictionaries. I've never seen the second used legitimately in the wild.

I do most of my writing on a tablet. It, unfortunately, will autocorrect hangar to hanger rather frequently and with much annoyance to me.

I know I’ve seen “indeterminable’ somewhere, but I never think to use it. I love “interminable”, though: “Without termination; endless; having no limits or limitation; unending; long drawn out: as, interminable space or duration; interminable sufferings.“
