    Using an apostrophe in plurals. Don’t know why but this one drives me insane.

    Also they’re/there/their and you’re/your

      Break/brake

      Write one long block of text, no punctuation, capitalization or paragraph breaks.

        Maybe it’s okay for something short, like texting, but proper grammar and punctuation are kind of necessary for the longer chunks of text.

      I personally find your/you’re very tricky for whatever reason.

      Like, I know which one I’m supposed to use, but I occasionally find myself using the wrong one every now and then for some inexplicable reason.

        Yes. Especially when typing. Hand writing tends to filter the confusion out more.
