7 words that are not in the Russian language, but people stubbornly say them

The Russian language is alive and rich, so rich that some speakers of this abundance have no idea about their speech errors.
This is not only a strange but beloved by many word “in general”, but also mutant words that appeared due to gaps in knowledge or elementary laziness.
1. Slip
Actually, the correct word would be "slip". There is no "d" in this word.
2. To authorize or to legitimize
There is a word "authorize" or "legalize". But anyone can express disagreement with the official position, which happens quite often.
3. Check it out
This word comes from the verb "to evaluate". You will have to search for "to evaluate" in the dictionary for a long time and without result.
4. Pain reliever
There is a word "painkiller", "to anesthetize". The situation is similar to "to legitimize" or "to empower".
5. Translucent
A strange word, almost indecent, but non-existent. In a cultured society, such a person would definitely be noticed.
6. Retubation
Many people use this word in different variations – “peretubation” and “perturbation”. But in reality it sounds only like this: “perturbation”, because the word is formed from the Latin per and turbor – anxiety.
7. Hiring
Another interesting situation. Most likely, the words "hiring" and "loan" owe their origin to the words "hiring" and "loan". No one will remember where "й" came from.
