It looks like the word I most frequently omit when writing is "that" also I typo The for She from time to time,

You needed to know (that) I'm sure.

Here in Maine, I often come across the inversion of 'THEN' and 'THAN'. It frustrated me more THAN I could ever convey, but THEN, I am easily annoyed. lol

More likely that is the symptom of a case of Homonym Disease -- you must know people who use the wrong spelling no matter what sound-alike they intended. Lately folks have been abusing rein/reign all over the place, not to mention faze/phase and others too numerous to list.

That's sometimes a homonym error, but it's also a not-infrequent typo. Like the than/that inversion it's one I make myself and have seen in a large number of published books as well.

I find them really annoying when I do them...
