Basic grammar and homophones used incorrectly. Repeatably.
Common saying that are just wrong. For example using "nip it in the but" instead of "nip it in the bud."
In historical fiction having something that just couldn't be. For example using a struck match in Europe prior to 1826 without some description on why that was possible since they weren't invented until then.
