My keyboard is offset from my seat for now, I've missed most of them. Also can't type disappear right. Thanks to Google chrome for the spellcheck.

I mix up "b" and "d" when I am writing by hand.
It's a split second choice of which side of the circle I put the vertical bar on... and sometimes I mess it up. :(

Not really a misspelling, but when I am typing quickly I almost always type form instead of from. Drives me nuts.

Quite a few. Though spell-checkers have improved my spelling - if you get corrected every time you get it wrong, eventually you notice and start to pre-empt the spell checker and hence your spelling improves.

So have now got the hang of lots of them, e.g. embarrassed, but still struggle with (here goes) bourgeois (yup, needed spellcheck that time).

I think its stupid French words like that one I have most trouble with - their spelling follows completely different conventions. I guess restaurant is another one of them.

(Doesn't help that spell-checkers everywhere seem obsessed with forcing me to type in American English.)

As if, is if, if it, etc almost always come out as doubled/repeat words when tapping or typing. For example, when I first typed "is if" on this post, is came out "is is."

...is came out "is is."
I guess I can triple it too! No, that was NOT intentional. The first it was supposed to be "it."

Edit: Dammit! I did it again. The first is, is supposed to be it. There.

Definitely, necessary, permanent. Got them right on first try that time! Though I wouldn't know unless they don't show up with a red underline. There are others, but I can't think of them right now.

I don't do this every time but still too often. I get in a hurry or sloppy and use "it's" for "its" even though I know "its" is already possessive.

recommend for some reason I always want to put 2 c in there.

Hmm, great idea if they put a statistic feature in your spell checker to actually tell you how many times you misspelled a particular word.

definitely and necessary. Every damn time.

I think I've actually gotten much worse at spelling those words since Swiftkey came along. I don't even bother trying to spell them correctly at this point. I just let the autocorrect fix them.
