I have dyslexia so I misspell things a lot. Plus, typos. Thank god for spellcheck! And punctuation and weird sentence structure are a problem for me too. Sometimes it's just so late at night I really don't care how weird my sentences get so long as there is hope someone might understand them. XD
What grammar mistakes do you make the most often?

I make typos more than I do misspell. I am a good spelling but a lazy typist.

Shit!!!!! Double negatives!!!!!!!!

I let my sentences run on without noticing.

I actually pay attention to grammar and spelling. Habit I guess. If it's informal and I am being lazy I won't bother with apostrophes on words like don't (dont).

I will double type or forget a word, usually as a result of editing but getting it wrong.....
I sometimes have comma issues...

I'm an editor so I don't really make mistakes. Though, if I'm lazy and typing like on forums I'll often not capitalize or put apostrophes out of laziness.

I'm a lover, not a speller.
I'm pretty good with most grammar and spelling, but I'm never quite sure about punctuation.

I misspell a lot of words. Definitely is a hard word for me to spell. Convenient also gets me every time. I also tend to add apostrophes where they don't belong.

I end up lettin my sentences run on. I forget commas like nobodys business

I don't make mistakes

I notice that a lot of people have this problem. If it helps, affect is a verb and effect is a noun.

My downfall is effect and affect. Also, the semicolon.
There, I admitted it.
Don't judge me.

I tend to ramble a bit. I also forget to put transitions in. This is not a problem when I am speaking, but my writing tends to read like my thinking. That is, it jumps around all over the place in a pattern which makes perfect sense to me, but which confuses my readers. My mentor is very good about reminding me to use transition phrases (though I haven't gotten in the habit of doing it yet.)

I wouldn't really call it a grammatical error (maybe more like a Freudian Slip, heehee)... but when I want to type "ask" I always type "ass", and I type "lick" instead of "like", and also "Thrustday" instead of "Thursday". Hahaha, you have no idea how many times I had to re-type the "right" words

I usually misspell things, not that often because i ise spell check, but my sentences can sometimes be run on. I try to proofread everything I do before I submit it.

I start sentences with 'and'! And 'although'! Although sometimes I start them with 'but'! But I also use others! So you can see I'm hopeless with the out-of-place coordinating conjunctions.
And ending every sentence with an exclamation mark can also be a problem for me sometimes!

Usually it's sentences being too long and not correctly linked or separated with commas and parenthesis. I make typos a lot too but they don't seem to be as prevalent as the run-on sentence issue.

I'm awful at spelling and I try to write the way I talk, only cleaner. But sometimes I don't know how to punctuate the way I talk.
