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

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

E.g: "I hope Man United don't loose today against Arsenal"

Really gets me wound up!

I have a few words that I struggle with. I've managed to correctly spell 'definitely' (I think!) but neccessary is sometimes a common mistake for me...
 
I can't type or write 'thief'. Except just then. I don't have trouble with any other 'ie' words, but that one for some reason always makes me stop and think, and I have to write it ot type it to see which way is right.

I also always forget that 'fahrenheit' has the h before the r.

There are a few more but generally if I stop and think for a second I avoid making the mistake. Seeing it written down helps too.


Edit: Not really to do with spelling, but when people say 'etc.' out loud and get the pronounciation wrong it really bugs me. It's not 'excetra', it's 'et cetera'.

Center / centre is one of mine, and like most necessary is another but there are probably more.

Made worse by the fact that in IIS 6.0 there's the phrase "restarting IIS will cause you to loose all your connections"... makes me want to stab myself in the eye that one...
 
Lol these word tips are amazing.

Necessary, Necessary wooot! Definitely Definitely. Awesome cheers! And keep um coming!
 
Relevant as "relavent" and "privilege" as "privelige" all the time. I always notice them as soon as I've typed them and then correct them though :)
 
Another two that I've just remembered. The amount of people that spell 'college' 'collage' is incredible. And there's an added irony when it appears in a 'I'm thinking of going back to collage' type thread. The other is the rather odd abbreviation of 'come on' to 'common'. That's particularly retarded.

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.
