- "could of" when you mean "could have" or "could've"
- "alot" or "allot" when you mean "a lot" (as in "a whole bunch" or "much")
- "I could care less" when really you mean that you couldn't care less, and should say that instead, unless your intent is to be sarcastic, but it's clearly not
- Use of the wrong archaic pronoun
- Use of archaic pronouns without appropriate accompanying verb conjugation
