for myself, i usually misspell "embarrass" as "embarass".. heehe i think the word misspell itself is frequently misspelled.

one that I've seen misspelled often -- and cannot believe when I do -- is "congratulations" incorrectly spelled with a "d" to yield "congradulations".

Other frequent misspellings are the renderings of "night" as "nite" and "light" as "lite".

I don't know if these words' widespread misspelling is due to sheer laziness or what, but whatever the case, "lite" and "nite" are incorrect.
