And I can't remember who, but a rugby team in the UK kept confusing fans for a while when announcing on social media the good news that players were resigning.

I think they've added the hyphen for newer announcements, but yeah...

I've had personal experience with similar as well, when a ready meal I had said "halfway through, remove from the microwave, lift the film lid, stir, and recover".

At the church I grew up in, it was almost always Happy instead of Merry as there were a few of the older folk who were against alcohol in the church building. (The communion wine was usually grape or cranberry juice)

Merry has hints of getting drunk in it, which wasn't exactly seen as a positive thing.
