I've seen "amature" about as frequently as "amatuer." Of course "amateur" is the correct spelling.
Calling a male a "masseuse" (feminine form of "masseur") is always a laugh for me.
I suppose the confusion over weird/wierd is that it's an exception to the "i before e except after c" rule.
What gets me is people who can't pin down common words they must see just about every day.
My favorite misspelling was the truck I saw parked outside a house that said "Joe Schmoe (that part I made up) Plumming, Heating, Air Conditioning." Jeez, when you don't even know how to spell your own profession!
