The one that makes me snicker (meanly, since they're trying) is when people use "whom" when "who" is correct, as in, "I wondered whom it was." Or similarly, when "myself" is used when "me" is correct. A combination of pretentiousness and lack of understanding of grammar is at fault.
Don't get me started on apostrophes....
