BARBITURATE

I’d guess that a popular misapprehension of pronunciation leads to a popular misapprehension of spelling, thus “barbituate,” but that’s not how you spell it.

BATTALION

Two t’s, one l, not the other way around. Think “battle,” if that helps you.*5

BOOKKEEPER

The only legitimate English word I’m aware of that includes three consecutive sets of double letters,*6 and in writing it you’re quite apt to forget the second k.*7

BUOY, BUOYANCY, BUOYANT
