I'm going to say, "Proofread your ads." 
This (below) just popped up in mobile format on my smartphone. Someone's getting a bit muddled up with their double letters. It reminds me of the time that the label printing page managed to misspell the word "Successful" in honking big type across the top.

My own biggest problem isn't spellcheck; it's that I tend to type so fast that I end up leaving out entire.
hehe.....
now when is ebay going to give us a choice of HELPFUL button OR a SMILEY button on these posts so its clear we're laughing with a person and not a nimwit who just likes hitting LIKE and didn't actually 'get' it...?

I'm fairly competent with spelling but on the fence about this issue;
When I list several variables and end the sentence with "etc." are there two periods or one?
EXAMPLE:
Available in orange, yellow, tan, etc..
Available in orange, yellow, tan, etc.
Be gentle, I frighten easily. 😄
One period. "etc." is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "et cetera" (okay, you knew that 
), meaning more or similar items could follow but you don't want to bore the reader to tears, and while you would put a period after an abbreviation like that anyway (e.g. "Mr. Jones" or "123 Main St."), it's also the end of the sentence, so that period serves double duty in that location.

I would probably not use "etc." at the end of that sample phrase "Available in orange, yellow, tan, etc." if it was referring to a specific set, regardless of whether there were lots of available colors.
If it was available in any color you want, such as made to order on request, then it would be okay to use "etc." because you can't name every possible color. But if it was only available in specific choices, such as, let's say, 30 different colors, then it would be better to say, "Available in orange, yellow, tan, and 27 other colors." You would them itemize them someplace else.

I was attending this Meetup, and while I was watching a new financial power point, I spotted a mistake: they wrote "recieve"
Another word to keep a sharp eye out for is "inconvenience," as in the phrase "Sorry for the inconvenience."
This is probably the most frequently misspelled word I've ever seen in print, possibly because it's usually posted in haste after Something Bad has happened (e.g. out of stock, equipment breakdown, bank robbery) by whichever minimum-wage employee was unable to rectify the situation (e.g. refill the supplies, fix the copier, fire back), either scrawled in marker or printed in 72-point TIMES BOLD CAPITALS and posted on either the offending item or the front door of the bank.
My family has an ongoing project that we call the Inconvience Watch™, spelled that way in honor of the most common mangling we see, collecting examples of misspelled inconvenience wherever it occurs. Our best prize-winning sighting to date comes to us courtesy of the ATM at the Holiday Inn Lakeview in Impington near Cambridge (England), as photographed below on March 30, 2017 (with partial credit for not using TIMES BOLD😞
I can't add anything to that.
