Spelling generally isn't an issue, but typing certain words always tangles my fingers.
"Solicitor" and "Responsibility" both nearly always take me two attempts.

A lot of people on here and elsewhere seem to spell the word "border" incorrectly as "boarder".

I've seen it happen loads of places.

I always struggle with minute, when it refers to period of time

No problems with minute, when referring to something being extremely small.

I can never, ever remember how to spell Tuesday

I have trouble remembering if the U or the E comes first. Every single time.

At least you don't have to write it down, you can always say 'the day before Wednesday' or 'the day after Monday'

You try struggling with maintance for instance. mad

Tomorrow, Decision, and association.
Doesn't help that I worked for a housing association and had to write that down several times a day for over 15 years. Still wouldn't stick.

I'll nominate 'loose' as the most misspelled word on PH.
If you then point out the error, allegations of 'Grammar Nazi' quickly follow although often written as Grammer!
It is very irritating.
