Probaly letters with like Two 'T's or two letters next to each other. That people will only do one letter instead of two.
Like Probaly, Probally? I dunno lol.
Probably.
I hate when people say "alot" and not "a lot"
but thats not A word...
I normally put alot, but i know in a formal peice of writing it's a lot.
When I was teaching, the word "separate" often gave kids a lot of spelling trouble. Which is why the little mnemonic saying "There's 'a rat' in separate" came in handy.
I don't know the single most commonly misspelled word. But I found this about the most common 100 words:

I see this one all the time.
People type looser when they mean loser.
I am afraid its the actual word, misspelt. Cos thats how you spell it. Could even be mis-splet, I dunno.
in a recent survery the most commonly miss spelled word is regardless, it is commonly miss spelled as irregardless, which is not a word.
This is using a ratio of how often words are used, and then multiplying the factors so that is as if they were said the same number of times.
