List of words borrowed (and misused) from Italian, Latin, or Spanish

circa = about ;

credo = religious belief (mainly used in Cristianity), mistakenly used outside of religious context) ;

de facto = actually (adv), actual, factual (adj.) ;

per = for, at ("per" and the sign "x" in Latin and italian also mean "multiplied by", therefore the  abusive usage of "per" in English can lead to a wrong assumption in contexts in which it refers to a ratio, a numerical division or  anything that can be better turned into "at" or "for";
