The one that made me laugh out loud at myself, was superbly.  It was hyphenated at the end of the page .......if I remember correctly, I asked (out loud) what the heck a super bly was.

Sometimes you hear someone reading aloud saying "Febuary".  What about the "r"?  "February!"

I often type "form" when I mean "from".
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

This one is also not a misread, but a mistype too.  I almost always type a t on the end of 'ough' words.  It's such a habit, that it's almost a part of typing those words......... type it....backspace....carry on.
