I sometimes see college used when the writer means colleague. I think this is usually due to a typing error or uncertainty about how to spell colleague. Unfortunately, this is a spelling error that a spellchecker won’t be able to help with.
- a person one works with
College
- an educational institution
- an organised body within a particular profession
My tip: say the word out loud. You probably wouldn’t spell league as lege.
Good tip (my keyboard is no friend of mine!)

Thank you. I know the feeling – sometimes the keyboard and my fingers just do not get along 😀

Indeed!
These sneaky 2nd decade 21st Century keyboards lay lots of traps for my latter half 20th century mind & fingers.
