Lately I'm going through this thing where I always use the wrong word that sounds kinda like the one I'm wanting to use and I have to look everything up because I'm unsure.

The word you're after is 'Malapropism'.
or at least, that's the word for inadvertently (and comically) substituting one word with another similar one. Great innit?

I recommend you bookmark the OED online (proxy acess for UofW student types).
