One of the most common mistakes that is made in writing is the misspelling of words. This can be categorized with many other mistakes that are made for the fact that the writer is using the wrong context for what they are really trying to say. But it is still used commonly. This also mainly happens when the writer does not have any care for what they're doing or are in a rush. Though it may also happen simply because the person simply does not know how to spell the given word.
Your Writing Wrong
One stupid mistake that is commonly made in writing is the incorrect use of homophones. For instance, the words your and you're both sound the same but are spelled differently. Even though it is fairly easy for people to be able to remember this, most do not. This usually happens in a time when the writer is in a rush or simply has no care for what they are writing. Though that is still no excuse for the incorrect usage.
Finally, one of the most common mistakes in writing is using incorrect punctuation. For instance, the comma is usually used in cases that it is not needed, which may cause a run-on sentence. Though incorrect punctuation is also used when embedding quotes. For example, '"The cat ran up the hill".' In this scenario the writer put the period in the wrong area. It is an obvious mistake that they did not put it in the sentence before the quotation, which is supposed to be the punctuation that closes out the sentence if the quote is done being said.
Incorrect Sentence Examples:
