Solider instead of soldier. I've seen it used in several stories where it's the only misspelling. Unfortunately, the stories featured the military and never even once used the correct word. Which is kind of confusing since they got 'lieutenant' correct and that seems a more error-incentive word.

Also, your where you're should be and vice versa. Most of the time, that error is applied quite consequently. Very annoying.
