    I had a roll as a gag gift a while back, but I think the one I got was defective.

    Instead of different words, all I got was "shit."

    /me flees.

    From a Canon! standpoint, I can't stand reading Lestrange spelled like LeStrange.

    Alister instead of Alastor. Marvolo instead of Sorvolo in Spanish fanfiction (Yo soy Lord Voldemort instead of I am). Delores instead of Dolores. McGonagle (multiple variations) instead of McG XD

    It's a mix for me: Defiant/definite. Lose/loose. There/their/they're. To/too. And a few others that have already been mentioned.

    One that I thought for sure would be mentioned is thorough vs through.

    This may not technically be a mispelling and I may just be a pretentious twit but i hate the word irregardless, double negatives drive me nuts.

    I must just be really slow, but I'm not sure whether you're joking or serious. It is a double negative, both the prefix and suffix are negative.

    I hope she was smoking hot.

    Like irregardless, it's a made-up word glommed together from two other words (misunderstood/mistaken vs. regardless/irrespective).

    Not a misspelling but just as rage inducing: Youngling.
