ecstasy (bliss)

Not “ecstacy.” Perhaps you’re confusing it with bureaucracy.

enmity (ill will)

I was well into my twenties before I realized that this word was neither pronounced nor spelled “emnity.” I have since learned—and I find it retroactively comforting—that I was not, and am not, the only victim of that misapprehension.

fascist (one in favor of strong central control of government)

Capitalized when referring to an actual member of Benito Mussolini’s Fascisti in Italy during the 1930s, the British Union of Fascists, or any other organization that thus self-identifies, otherwise lowercased.*6
