    Where do you get it wrong.
    "Their", "there" and "they're" and "then" and "than"; I usually spot them when I re-read (thank Tosa for the edit button), but I make many mistakes against those pre-edit.

    I usually mix up "hear" and "here" and "where" and "wear" as well and anything else that sounds similar.
