Words that you always misspell.

i before e rule tends to screw me up sometimes, so words like convenience I'll screw up if not careful or autocorrect doesn't catch it.

Bur autocorrect isn't always my friend, either.

"But" often gets changed to "bit" without warning, and "this" inexplicably changed to "thus."

“‘I’ before ‘E’, except after ‘C’, or pronounced as an ‘A’ as in ‘neighbor’ and ‘weigh’, and on alternate full moons."
 
One thing I have going for me is that since I’ve only learned English when I was old enough that I was learning to pronounce and write it at the same time, I don’t trip over the things many natives do, like to/too and all this their/they’re/there stuff. It’s a poor consolation but better than none 😁
 
Then there's a 'hole' series of words like "professor." Is it two 'Fs' and one 'S' or the other way around.
 
Occasion and Occurrence. I know one of them follows the double c with a single consonant, the other a double, but I can never keep straight which is which.
 
Cunnilingus - one ’N’, or two? 🤪

(I used that joke in a story.)
