quite simply - Too and to. I understand obviously how to use these basic words, but I find myself accidentally mixing them up in just the flow of writing.

I sometimes flip their, there, and they’re when I’m not paying attention in my writing.

I also tend to misspell things like cinnamon or onomatopoeia (I always autocorrect it)
If I didn’t autocorrect, it’s wind up like cinnemin or onomanopeia. My brain does the phonetic sounds to spell words out.
** the one word I hate to spell is: existential
It doesn’t sound right to me, so it becomes this jumble of a word instead: extesential

Feck. Ediot.
Those work, feck is a word, you can swap ediot for eejit, you'll be okay.
I can't spell or comprehend “Keep it a secret” used autocorrect for this. Fingers crossed it came out right.
And “dont tell anybody/anyone else”

Sometimes I misspell Properly, because the equivalent word in my native language sounds almost the same, but has one more "r", it's like... "Proprerly".

So, I end up confusing the two words and end up mixing up how to write each~

I'm late!! BUT!!!! I've been eyeing this forum for the longest time because I knew there was a word I frequently used that I always always misspell... but I couldn't remember it until now.

It's mischievous. I keep spelling it mischevious. I even pronounce it kind of like that. And then I get confused by the red line because I think it's correct. Hahahaha. Okay bye

I manage to type in "the" instead of "there" pretty often. Notice it only during rereading too. Weird stuff.
Another one is aberration in lieu of abberation. That's what comes to mind right away.

Too and to, don't really understand how to use them. Bussiness, dissapear ... strenght. But well, with the help of typora spell check, added with Grammarly and ProWritingAid extension installed on my browser, those misspelled words appear less often.

Ceiling and Claustrophobic. I always try to spell ceiling as "cieling" since that's how it's spelled in most romance languages (e.g. ciel, cielo). And I try to spell claustrOphobic as claustrAphobic for no good reason - after all, the root is claustrum, so there's no reason to stick an A in there.

Reincarnate
It takes me awhile a lot because I often misspelled it as reicarnate or rencarnate.
