I think the winner would be "i" but there is not way to find out...

Yeah, a few days ago I saw one sentence with "there ... there" that should've been "their ... they're".
Btw, is there anything wrong with my "should've" above? My spell checker marks it red and its correction suggestions are all wrong.

I've been taught that the contraction "should've" does not actually exist. I think there are other words like this like "would've" and "could've," but they don't show up on my spell-checker as incorrect. After doing a google search for these words, though, it seems most sources consider this contraction grammatically correct.

1130 for "Stachu"
It should be statue, obviously.

I also think there is no way to find out how often "not" is used when "no" was meant.
(my personal weakness is simply writing to fast and not checking what I wrote so I write things like know when I mean now and I suck at choosing between than and then and some of my sentences are between brackets/parentheses while they shouldn't be and I type things like a/b in very long sentences that are not very nice to read but I hope that all of what I wrote here is ok/okay and not to/too difficult]
Obviously, the most common error would be the misuse of avg that should be capitalised like AvG.
P.S., pants are trousers

nice capitals you have on your keyboard
I have another suggestion, but also don't know how to search for it: 3x3 when 3x3x3 is meant. (these puzzles are 3 dimensional you know?)
