Do you have that one word or words that you keep messing up?
Do you hate it when people correct your spelling?
I made this thread due to the obvious posts not by anger. But it just came to my mind and I thought it would be such a CARAZY topic to discuss upon. I have a ton of words that are just ran into the ground, however I always spell it wrong.
I don't hate it when people correct my spelling (Personally, I think it's kinda dumb. To a certain extent). It's sometimes funny and all, but... pfft, fart on it. I should not dwell too much into that.
Whenever I see that code that makes a red line appear under the incorrect spelling I always imagine Firefox.
I fixed most of my "usual" spelling/grammar mistakes which I'd always make several years ago (it's/its, seperate, etc) so I tend to type pretty well most of the time.
The only thing which I will do on purpose is avoid "___ and I" - I know it's correct, but I hate using it for some reason; I'm not sure why.

I sometimes want to put an extra G on the end of words that end with "-on" -- pythong, athlong, etc.
I was never sure why I do this, exactly.
Other than that, I tend to sometimes run words together if I am in a hurry, especially if a word ends with the same letter that the next word begins with. "Thegg" (instead of "the egg") is one of my favorite typos due to this. It became my nickname for a while in high school because the place in which I happened to make the mistake was in a PowerPoint presentation for a science class.

Sometimes, this construct is actually misused
"Bloodstar and I have played Zelda Classic" - Correct
"Colin gave JCS points to Anya and I" - Incorrect
Basically, you test this by removing the other person and the "and":
"I have played Zelda Classic" - Sounds right
"Colin gave JCS points to I" - Sounds wrong
Also I can't stand when people frequently mispell a word becouse I end up getting confused about it. I mean I heard the above one more often than its proper form and now I got it stuck forever.
I find that I make a lot of typos often, it's usually when I press a key adjacent to the key that I wanted to press (quipe -> quote) (or when I press the enter button, common with IM clients), or a letter that I missed in the word ( ajacent -> adjacent).
Other times I end up having a Freudian slip, such as:
<@Index> at the caf, we have:
[...]
<@Index> milk (2%)
<@Index> chocolate miku <@K__> We've got sodas and stuff to--
<@K__> Nice freudian slip.
<@K__> db dark_skin hatsune_miku

Nice irony, Reimu.
I usually switch letters around by accident. I also have trouble using 'd'.

It's not an spelling mistake if I don't press/press the wrong key.
Yeah, it's just Grammar Karma[. I still love that, even though it was my own fail.

Is "becouse" inten(t)ional too? I always notice that
I can't think of a common mistake I make, but I do correct myself (typos, wrong words, etc.) pretty often

Oh yeah, this too! I've typoed "Python" as "Pythong" so many times.

For some reason, I almost spell apparently as "apparantly" almost every time I type it. I used to be bad with spelling tomorrow as "tommorrow", but not so much anymore.

Like "forning" for "morning" on a paper I turned in.
Later, it was separate as "seperate" and Kindergarten as "kindergarden".
I still love that, even though it was my own fail.
