Another classic mistake: sticking apostrophes where they don't belong.
"Oooh, look! The word ends in the letter 's' - it must need an apostrophe."
No! Dammit!
The apostrophe replaces a missing letter, ergo if you're not replacing a letter then don't put an apostrophe in!
Examples:
wasn't => was nOt
isn't => is nOt
you're => you Are
FFS, just make an effort and think about what you're typing for a second.
Or better still, re-read what you wrote before you hit "Post".
