I see lots of spelling corrections on here, some mischievous, some not so much and I wondered what the worst offender words are for you.
Here are some of the words I cringe at when I see them:

Definately
Rediculous
any misuse of they're their and there
Pacific, meaning specific

Some pronunciations cause the same affect. I particularly can't bear to hear:

Nucular
Poscetti

What are yours?

"Practice" and "practise" are often mixed up. Another silly mistake is "ect" instead of "etc." :-)
...as are license and licence.
Stationery (e for envelope) and stationary (at a standstill) are two of my personal favourites
