A lot of stuff that ends in -ize. The Australian in me wants to use -ise, but isn't strong enough to beat the desire for consistency that the spell check provides.

The word that throws me sometimes is FAGGOT. I hate faggot(s) – I can never remember if it's one G or two Gs. So instead of using that word, I just get lazy and substitute words instead.
For example: I collected a bundle of sticks and twigs for my fire.
But, if I remember to keep my dictionary handy for spelling, I would rather write it this way: I collected some faggots for my fire.
I'm surprise I don't have this word down yet since I occasionaly write articles about outdoor camping and survival. And, one of top things for survival in the wilderness is the ability to make a fire with faggots.

Actually, it does not matter. If we take a look at a dictionary we get this result:
fag·ot /ˈfægət/ –noun 1. a bundle of sticks, twigs, or branches bound together and used as fuel, a fascine, a torch, etc. 2. a bundle; bunch. 3. a bundle of pieces of iron or steel to be welded, hammered, or rolled together at high temperature. 4. bouquet garni. –verb (used with object) 5. to bind or make into a fagot. 6. to ornament with fagoting. Also, British, faggot.
So whether you type it with one 'g' or two, it does not matter. So, with this knowledge you no longer have to pain yourself thinking which is the correct spelling, since both are. But make sure your grammar is correct though.
Finnish people tend to spell important phonetically as impotent. For example, a man at a pharmaceutical company is being introduced: "This man is a very impotent person. He has a wife and three kids." Our meds are pretty awesome, 'kay?
