cohort
Misuse of the word is rampant! A cohort is a group and the word comes from early Roman times when a cohort was a division within a Roman legion. People insist on using words incorrectly and then the corruption becomes standard use. "He was his employer's COHORT in crime." A person can't be a group. Drives me crazy (short trip).
