It's caught, not cought or catched

This mistake is an interesting one. I was hurry while typing and I typed catched as the past tense of catch. I should not make such a silly mistake, because of two reasons. One is, I watch cricket and it teaches us the past tense of catch is caught. Also, I have practiced this word a lot, when I was a kid and was in school. Just now I realized why I did this mistake. It's because of the word cached. I use it a lot because of my profession. Then I tried to correct catched, but what typed was cought. Looks like it's a typo and I corrected this with the help of spelling suggester of my browser.

Analyzed as Analysed

I frequently commit this spelling mistake. Analyzed is the correct spelling as per US English. Most of the time, I write it as Analysed. This is wrong in US English. However this is the correct spelling in UK English. So, if you are communicating in US English, then you need to follow the first one. Analyzing is also for Analysing in US English.

Yacht or Yatch?

 Today, while working on a workout on the  Elevate app, I came across a word and I spelled it as Yatch. And it was wrong, obviously. I might have learned the correct spelling of Yacht when I was a kid. But over the years, I had remembered it as Yatch.  I guess it happened because I did not knew the correct pronunciation of the word. Instead of pronouncing it as  jɒt , I had alway pronounced it as  j atʃ , similar to 'match'.

Opinion as Openion

When I tried to type Opinion today, three time I typed Openion . First, I doubt on the spelling after 2 minutes, and then moved to Orkut scrapbook page (I need a text area on Firefox to check spellings by it's inbuilt spell checker). Then I came to know that I made that mistake. After that also, I tried to type it 2 more times, and typed Openion instead of Opinion , but this time I caught it while typing, before finishing the word.
