Our pastor taught one Wednesday night on listening to your "conscience", and I was trying not to snicker (okay, I wasn't trying ALL that hard) the whole night--he kept saying "conscious" when he meant "conscience", and vice versa. It was so funny. The pastor's wife was visibly wincing with every incorrect usage.  He's a smart guy, so that made his mix up even funnier.
