The name “Chris”. I always, without fail, add a “t” at the end.
The name of the town I live in, Englewood. It always comes out “Engelwood.”
I’ve seen it typed that way on envelopes, legal documents and even TV blurbs.
In addition to many already mentioned…
“Golf” very frequently becomes “gold.” I also have to type the word “dairy” a lot, and I have to be careful not to type it “diary.” Both of these misspellings are a pain in the ass, because, of course, gold and diary are legitimate words.

Ends up Stabdard, Standrd, or something *really *off.

I misspelled my username so much that before I realized it was missing a vowel I had signed up with its current form in about 4 sites. It was supposed to be “joaozito”. Too late now.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but my thread would have been identical to this one. I have realized over the past little while (weeks?) that I cannot spell the word “cylinder” to save my life. I spell it with every vowel combination I can think of and it still gets that squiggly underline until I finally click to see the correction and then say “DOH! of course!”
Then five minutes later I’ll do the same thing. It doesn’t stick. And in general I’m a very good speller. I also often typo between the words “sign” and “sing” but that isn’t really over spelling but too-fast typing.
I am a pretty good speller, although I made a post about hemorrhoids yesterday and had to look that up. But my PhD thesis advisor was just about the worst speller I have ever seen. I took a course from him in which the word “kernel” was used over and over and he always (and I mean invariably) put on the same performance. “k-e-r-n------------(hmm, I always misspell it and I think the next letter is an e so it must be an)-a-l”. Every time! Once he was doing a proof by induction and started, "Having choosen [titters] (oh, did I spell that wrong and someone told him it was “chosen” and he corrected it)…we now chose… This really happened. Another word that defeated him was “division” (he would write “devision”). But he was a fine mathematician and a superb teacher. Gone now for just about 12 years.
“Weird” always looks…well, you know…to me.

Two year old zombie?
Definately zomby. I mean zombie.
Sargeant
Stupid “e”. Outta be an “a”.
I put the “a” in “responsable.” Sigh…
(And, in a very recent pit thread about Ayn Rand, I kept writing “Atlast Shrugged.” Had to correct it several times!)
Good speller here, but I almost always type “remeber” for “remember.”
.
Apologized for that in my first post. But people have told me recently that this is what I should do rather than starting a new thread to ask.
Millennium always gets me. I simply cannot burn its spelling in my head.
Apocalypse. I always want to seem to type it with two Ps.
Vinyl. I always have to stop and think, “which is first, the ‘i’ then the ‘y’ or the other way around?”
The only reason any of these are spelled correctly is because of autocorrect on my iPad.
Same here, also “dialysis”.
And I always want to stick a “d” in refrigerator.
Remember to accommodate the other M.
From. When I type it, it comes out as form 99 times out of 100, even though I know I do this. And no little red squiggles ever show up because, as you know, form is also a word.
