It's loth to do it, not "loath" or "loathe".

It's accept something, not "except" it.

It's affect the outcome, not "effect" it.

It's publicly, not "publically".

It's never mind (two words), not "nevermind" (pace Nirvana).

It's liaison, not "liason".

Any more (not "anymore") ?

I hate it when people can't spell Grammar school. Especially when they profess to have been lucky enough to go to a Grammer!

I also cringe at
Lay down/lie down confusion
Inferred confusion
Apostrophe confusion

But I'm a really easy-going person otherwise.

"revert back"
"return back"
"reply back"

You get the idea!
