I know the best way is to hire an editor. And I know you become aware of them over time.

I just want to know if there are any tips or techniques to spot/correct them?

For example these are my common errors/typos:

Feel/fell
Raise/rise
Back/black
Not/no
You/your/you're
Where/were
Would/would it
Over it/over to it
Quiet/quite
Kill/kills
I/I've
Had/have
When it happened/when it had happened
He was/was he
Thousands of years/ thousands years
On/in/at

Right now, I can only think of searching each individual error/typo with CTRL + F and correct it.

Does anyone has other suggestions?
