One of the funnier malaprops I've been seeing with increasing frequency is the use of the word "regime" for "regimen". Like, "my workout regime" or "my skin care regime."

Idk, it just brings to mind people being herded into public squares and being forced to do jumping jacks or apply toner in unison under the watchful eye of Dictator Olay.

ETA: I've come to find out that this particular usage of "regime" is a difference in dialect. Still, my American brain continues to jump to the same silly imaginative scenario. 😅
