what are some words you get mixed up? (other then they're/there/their and you're/your and such)

i get my "american" and english words mixed up a lot. i started thinking about it because of the whole realized topic.
i find myself using a lot of english words, even though i grew up in the US. (i'm 100% scottish)
my most common ones are color/colour and realized/realised.

Meh.

I hate that most people don't know how to spell "experience" and "definitely".

The numerous misspellings for "definitely" infuriate me. It is not "definately" (the most common misspelling), "deffinitely," "deffinately," "definatly," "definitley," "defiantly" (my favorite, because it's actually a whole other word), or whatever else you can come up with.

DEFINITELY. One "F," no "A"!
