What words do you always spell wrong/always see spelled wrong?

bah, thread starting machine, but i was just reading this thing at work, and it occurred to me that i dont think i've ever seen the word accommodation spelled the same way twice!! everyone messes it up! even me...i can never remember how to spell it.

which leads me to...."what words do you have trouble with? do you notice when people spell things wrong?"

even though it's a spelling thread, can we try and keep it free of grammar naziism? some people are sensitive about their spelling, and they dont need it pointing out...this is supposed to be lighthearted

The worst words that I always see being used incorrectly are 'loose' and 'lose'.

Things like this do my head in..

hehe. that one gets me. my other half finds it hilarious to purposefully misspell things because she knows it annoys me. things like appologise and deffinately. ugh.

There are a few that have already been mentioned but what really bugs me is when people say something like "I brought a laptop."

Argh it's not brought it's BOUGHT!!!!!

Thats pretty much the only one that bugs me.

i catch myself getting that wrong when speaking and i always correct myself. and call myself a dip**** too.
