The one the really gets my dander up (and I don't know why) is when an author insists on using the singular "foot" when the context is obviously plural. As in "Sam is six foot tall." when it should bee "Sam is six feet tall."

I've seen some very successful authors do it, the one that comes to mind is Stephen King.
