One that I see misspelled time and time again is "lose" vs. "loose" (I even occasionally see "loosing.") I never get tripped up on this myself, but it happens way more often than you'd think. I'm always amazed a how many times I come across this. I think it's mainly because the double-o—"oo" stands out so well to me. My guess as to why many people get caught up on this one is because of words like choose, booze, etc.
There is another word that always trips me up, as it has two closely related forms, but I can't for the life of me remember it at the moment. I'll try to remember it and come back here.
