What words do you consistently misspell?

Typos are not considered misspelled words, IMO. To me, spelling a word wrong is if you continually do it and don't know it's wrong. A typo is just hitting the wrong key and not catching it.
There are no words that I actually misspell, but I do leave some typos hanging at times. Usually I go back and edit them if I proof read the post and catch it.
All these pinheads that spell "loser" as "looser"....that's misspelling. Not a typo. They didn't hit two o's by accident, not that frequently.
Typing "teh" when you meant "the" is a typo...nobody thinks you spell "the" that way.

whichever is right, one of them I misspell 😛

Pet peeve of mine is that no one can spell "lose". It's almost always "loose". I've even seen it in newspaper and magazine articles that are in theory proofread and edited!
'i' before 'e' except after 'c'
Not in the case of the word "weird".

That rule has a lot of exceptions

Me too mosh, I do the 'toilet' / 'toliet' thing.

I also occasionally spell 'tomorrow' as 'tommorrow'.

Also, I just misspelled 'occasionally' as 'occassionally'.
