I don't think that counts because I hear people call it both all the time.

I never hear anyone over here call it their cell or cell phone. -~-

Yeah, over here, they use it every once in a while when it is official, but you will normally see cell phone.

An obvious one - Football and Soccer.

YES?! but it should only be football?!!!!!

 

[Nebulous]

Actually the British, who invented soccer, created the name association football to refer to soccer in order to distinguish it from rugby football. Soccer became a shortened reference to the word asSOCiation football. Therefore, soccer is often used to refer to association football in countries where another form of football exist.
