Not sure if anyone has mentioned this one, but a very common mistake is to use "loose" instead of "lose".

Example ... "you're going to loose today's game".

And, yes, the level of literacy is awful, but it reflects the age of the majority of posters. They don't teach literacy like wot they used to.
 




The Large One said:
full sentences containing a subject, object, an active verb, and featuring a well thought out intelligent term of abuse.

'Full' sentences don't need an object.

And when you say 'subject', are you after a psychological subject, a grammatical subject or a logical subject? Or are you relying on a (pseudo-Latinate) mediaeval grammar?

Similarly, verbs do not have to be 'active' (whatever it is you mean by that).
