The misplacing of "only" as a modifier, for starters -- as in,
"Shlabotnik only played in eleven games that season"
instead of "Shlabotnik played in only eleven games that season"...

"Would of," "could of," &c', instead of "would have," "could have"...

This is great -- a thread just for all of us grammar police who always have to bite our tongues...
