Some types bother me. I don't usually blame the author because it's the publisher who transposed letters or dropped a letter. It's the homophones that get me. Or confusing a noun and a verb. The lineman dominated the field because he was a dominant player. A person is NOT a dominate.
A character changing names mid scene is also a turn off. "Wait, there's only two people in the car. Who is 'X'?" Only to reread several times to realize they just called the other person the wrong name, to no reaction from said person. I've been called the wrong name before, I definitely brought it up. It was obvious when I figured it out that the character changed names during writing and the find/replace didn't find all instances.
