Hands down it has to be its and it's. Either the apostrophe is missing (i.e. Its a common misconception) or the apostrophe is there and shouldn't be (Wow, look at all of it's legs). I think 90% of mistakes are made because people don't even reread what they're about to post. I misspelled apostrophe twice before catching it.

People also say "duelers" when the correct term is "duelists".

Sometimes they say lightening too.

The SPF is not too bad when it comes to the misspellings, and I'm a harsh critic. I notice it much more when I browse the community and newcomer forums.

"amour" for armour/armor always makes me laugh ... I picture a barbarian fighting in a negligee :lol:
