Those i before e things used to get me every time, most of my misspellings now are bad typing skills. In grade school, the word friend got marked wrong more than any other. The word hygiene I still have to spell check or look up every time. Both ways look right to me.

The word that I notice others misspelling more than any other is seperate for the correct separate. The schwa sound just leads people astray all too often.

and the suffix -able, ible, I have to look up the proper way to use, like collectible.

Hooray, I got it right the first time, this time.

receive. The i before e except after c gets me everytime, because I don't always think about it.

Vehicle

I work for a publishing company that prints owner manuals for cars and trucks. I use this word 50 times a day, and most times I spell it wrong. DUH!

Harder longer words. None of them can come to mind right now.
