So, a little while ago I was sitting with my notebook scribbling something down, and I had to type the word rhythm. Rythm. Rhythym. That thing that gives music it's beat.
And I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to spell it! This is very common, and I know everyone has thier typos.
So what's your most common typo?
Mine include:
Ry-not even going to try
Definitely
Adding e's to the end of everything in my notebook scribbles
Ugh, I can't remember. But I know a lot of times, I'll type something wrong, fix it, and then realize I retyped it wrong again. Has something to do with hands on the keyword doing their own automatic thing. :)

Oh typos. Let's see... definitely used to get me until I forced myself to remember how to spell it. Repeat's another. I always want to put an 'e' on the end to it :p. I can't think of any more at the moment, but I know there are many.
I can't think of any at the moment, but I know there are many. I used to always type freind, but yea I don't do that anymore D:
incredibley gets me every now and then
I've been known to mispell sentence
I.... don't.... really know any others at this point in time ((although I did get the word 'teacher' wrong in a 1st grade spelling bee.... FIRST GRADE AND THEY GIVE ME THE WORD TEACHER? THE NEXT WORD TO WIN WAS one WTF!?!?!))
I always get "to" and "too" mixed up when typing fast...:P

Probably you're/your and their/there.
But I always notice them immediately afterwards. Always.

Improper punctuation
Switching word order
Improper conjugation
Homonym errors
Similiar word mix-up (I mean to type "headlights" and type "headless" instead)
Typing words I'm used to typing instead of the word I mean (writing "the" instead of "thread")
I wouldn't count definitely as a typo since that's just a misspelling. I used to write definately a lot... only recently did I start spelling it correctly...

I'll spell the stupidest things wrong. Like...four letter words. I'm so lost and then I feel like such an idiot when I finally remember how to spell it.
I just remembered another typo I always make: dellusion.

I always mix up then and than. XD And then I feel really, realy stupid.
And argue with my english teacher, until she's like, dude, look at what you typed.
And I'm like oh. I'll go sit down now.

Fazed and phased. It always gets me.
But I can't stand it when people type your instead of you're and vice versa. It kills me. D:"

Breathe and breath.
I know Tsuki hates when I do that. She always catches it.
My other common mistakes are making words possessive for no reason.
It's head was big.
When it should be
Its head was big.
That's my biggest problem.

Hmmm... I usually end up typing the wrong key with any word. That suons sorta plain, but I can't specifically point out and one word I would do it on. It uaually is the letter right nect to the key, or I typed ahead of thw word. See?
