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...

So eager were we to respond that we committed a glaring gaffe, since edited but now immortalized in having been quoted...
Sorry, were you referring to grammatical errors only in spoken conversation, as opposed to grammatical errors in writing? We'll overlook almost any error spoken casually, but grind our teeth when we hear it read in a speech, newscast, and so on...
