Re: A chorus of women could lament in unison. Good performance art...
Although I understand they are both valid words and spellcheck won't catch the error the meaning and applications of the words are very different. Although admittedly you might be prostrate to get a prostate massage. 
Ok, I'm stepping down off my soapbox now. I don't want to be an aprostate about it. Sorry, of course what I meant to say was "I don't want to be an apostate about it". Don't be such sticklers - you know what I meant to say. 
While we're on the topic of silly pet peeves (we were were't we? If not, my apologies then) let me throw one out to the crowd. The misuse of the terms "prostrate" and "prostate". Lately 95% of the reviews I've read switch the terms which is confusing (not to mention embarassing and uncomfortable depending on the circumstances).

Can we please work this out amongst ourselves before Conan stops by? I'm sure he has much more important things to deal with than this. Like crushing enemies beneath his feet and hearing the lamentation of the women.

Ok, we probably will need Conan's help with that one. It's much too deep for me to figger out.
...in "Lamentations?" Or is this one of those nouns like "evidence" or "god" where plurals are possible (evidences of gods makes sense), but we agree for cultural reasons to keep it singular?

continue in with the misuse of "message" and "massage", "she gave me a message" but the OP never says what the message was. He would've had more fun if he had asked her for a "massage"
When people ask for advise when they mean advice I cringe.
