you haven't said what age range .. so I'll assume you're directing your questions to people in excess of 15 ?
try these: they are the ones my students most often misspell ..
parallel
personal

pernicious
caroling
of course, if you're not American some spellings are different, such as carolling, centring, colouring, etc., etc.,
Americans tend to not use double letters
