Anything and everything goes in here... within reason.

Hmm. I don't really know. I'd prefer to think I'm perfect, spelling-wise, but obviously, that's far from being true.
So, which word do I mis-spell the most often? I can't really say. I'm fairly balanced when it comes to mis-spelling words, haha. No one word really stands out more than any other.
Probably words such as- oh, wait!
I constantly spell 'sec' wrong. My fingers always slip when I type it. Gah.
And if I leave out any Is in words, that's because the I key on my keyboard is broken...

Actually, that's another one of mine.

I only really care about my spelling if for example "supper" came out as "sgdhsr"

I just capitalize random words.

my fingers have a mind of their own and just type what they want to type rather than what i tell them, so i can start typing one word and they'll type a completely different one! i also hit the keys in the wrong order a lot, but i tend to read my post as i write it and catch (hopefully) most of my typos.

"You" tends to come out as "ypu" or "toy".

I do that too. Like, I'll start typing one word, and I'll get about halfway through it, and then my fingers will just type some other word on their own that starts the same way.
Now, for me, I have often tend to hit the wrong keys as I type, but I proofread as I go along. So I correct any errors as soon as I make them by quickly backspacing and fixing them.
Also, I type by looking at the screen and not my hands, and I don't use they home keys at all (I use my left middle finger and pointer finger, and my right pointer finger to type, plus my right thumb for the space bar, and my left thumb always rests against the bottom edge of the keyboard, below the spacebar to anchor me), so that might be why I mess up so much.
Now, for the sake of curiousity, I'll repeat what I said before (just the first part) without correcting myself and see what happens.

Most of my quick types are typing teh instead of the...think insteand of thing (or the other way around). If I'm writing an English paper I often put a typo in especially (adding an x instead of an s) and definitely, there is another one too, but I can't remember it at the moment.

I usually check my posts out as I type to make sure there are no mistakes. If it is a longer post though, then I will usually re-check it once I'm done typing to see how it is and make sure there are no mistakes.
And then if there are any words that are spelt wrong that I'm not sure how to spell, I check my ultimate dictionary...Google!
By the way, I think the most common mistyped word would be "the".

Your. For some reason, the u is just dying to jump ahead of the o, thus causing me to mistype it constantly. I typically catch it though.
Also, as I noticed when typing this, I type 'it' as 'is' from time to time, and vice-versa.

I just automatically check for spelling mistakes while typing. The backspace key almost presses itself. But, I usually don't make typos. And my most commonly mistyped word is just(jsut).

i constantly add a "H" after "n"
(EG: sign, i type as signh)
other than that its just my ham-fisted typing method(i dont watch what im doing and type like a daemon... of super fast typing...) and lack of proof-reading that often gets me.

"Because".
I often spell it "Becuase".
I noticed that people I talk to often spell my name "Choa".
