<span style="color:#FF0000">Geez luweez oddy!! Have you not read goldy-locks and the three "theres"?? 
It was a cheapo story my english teacher read to my class in 7th grade and that story has gotten me through many "there" problems. If you want I could probably send you the story via PM if I can Google it.
The problem word I can think of right now is that if I am not thinking about what I'm writing, I will mispell "phone" and put "fone". This isn't because I am dimwitted or having a brainlapse. It's mainly just a mixup from writing in spanish all those years and getting used to spelling word phonetically.
One other word I could think up off the top of my head would be "beautiful". Used to mispell this word all the time till my mom told me of this little trick to remember:
Beau-a nickname you use for your sig other
plus "ti"
Ful-having much of an object
Beautiful.
Doesn't make sense dictionary wise, but it's certainly kept me from mispelling things.
Am I answering this thread correctly?
And by the way, noone is not correct. "No one" is; "none" is, but not noone.
"None" as I was taught was pretty much how Lethal was taught. None is a synonym for "Not one" and be careful and know that the word "None" is a singular word. So instead of saying "None are" you would say "None is".
Anyone know how to tell the difference between
ALRIGHT
and
ALL RIGHT
or..
AFFECT
and
EFFECT</span>
