I recently saw an Ad for a front end job requiring: "strong Java Scripts" skills.

Just got an email yesterday from a corporate recruiter with the line "must have strong JAVA script" skills.

My instant reaction was, "You keep using that word, I do not think it means, what you think it means."

10 points for who can name the movie that has the quote...

"Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora".

I think that would be down to the recruitment agencies most of the time. Truth is they have a phone call and assume it's 2 separate words.
