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.

Oh Man! Don't be a homophone!

I hate the continual confusion of "Loose" and "Lose", I actually saw it in a book the other day, it changed how I viewed the book completely.
