Like your stepchildren, I also have problems with could/would.  I used to work with a woman who was fanatical about grammar.  If someone would ask her, could you do such and such...  she would also reply "of course I can, now do you want to know if I WILL".  I realized as I worked with her how often I did the same thing.  Now I correct myself routinely on this one!

My big typos are:  "teh" for "the" and "...ino"  for any word that ends in "ion".  Years ago I had one boss jokingly ask me if I was Italian because I so often typed words that way!  Even though I know I do it and try to be careful, I still find myself doing it when I am typing rapidly or am distracted.
