-  The progressive tense of the verb to die is dying, not "dieing". The
same goes for to lie -> lying.

- When you have a verb which ends in -uce and you want to make the
equivalent noun/adjective, it usually ends in -ucible, not "-ucable". For
example, it's reproduce -> reproducible (not "reproducable").

- People who constantly confuse the words "than" and "then".

- I think some people write "they're" instead of "there" on purpose, just
to annoy people.

- People who don't realize that when they say "I don't know nothing", they
are actually saying "I know something".
