We could all learn from this list. I know I always screw up on #4 (i.e., I get the two of them confused).

  1. #4 for me too. And I’m sure #2 on occasions 🙂

  2. For some reason, I’ve slipped into constantly using the wrong there/their/they’re variation. I know the correct one to use in each situation, but recently, I keep using the wrong one, and don’t catch it until later. It’s been happening recently with a few other typos, too.

  3. I have two – confusing verbiage and verbage, which can have ironic results. And failing to do a Find on “asses” when I really want to say “assess”. A classic f-up from my days in consulting.
