Bringing it back to sports, I've noticed that in recent years, what used to be called an "intrasquad" game (a scrimmage between two sides from the same team, or "squad") was starting to be referred to as an "intersquad" game. In its first uses, "intersquad" was undoubtedly an error by people not familiar with "intra" as a prefix, but it may have gained traction on the post-facto belief that the two scrimmage sides are themselves "squads". At any rate, the usage of "intersquad" now seems to have peaked, and "intrasquad" seems to be regaining its former pre-eminence as the descriptor.

Similarly, I've noticed that the fad for the spelling "publically" also seems to have peaked; I still see it, but not as frequently as a couple of years ago.

So there is hope for the world yet!
