What is my most common writing mistake?

Jam has tagged me to blog about my most common writing mistake. Sorry for taking so long time to complete this taggy. Anyway, here it goes:

*Start copy paste*

What is my most common writing mistake?

Instructions: To play this game, all you must do is explain what your most common writing mistake is. Then, you simply tag five individuals for the meme. Those five people will, in return, tag five more people. Ultimately, readers should see a tapestry of common grammar and spelling mistakes. Therefore, anyone that is feeling ashamed of their errors will feel a bit more confident and secure. Copy the person and person’s name that sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps build community.

Here are the answers:

Shine with Grace: Mixing the word “from” with “form” all the time.
Trinity’s most common mistake: I sometimes feel confused to use past tense or present tense when I share my stories.
LadyJava: typing too fast that sometimes I miss words in between.
Genie King: I type too fast too…always end up with “tot he”…when it should be “to the”.
Speedcat Hollydale: I “misspell” everything and forget to proof read b4 publishing.
Amel’s most common mistake: I find it hard to try to describe something as well as I want to due to lack of vocabulary, esp. when it comes to fashion or furniture or food. I don’t know much about those topics. Other than that, sometimes I write “aggressive” as “agressive”.
Jam: not really sure whether to use ‘can’ or ‘could’ as well as ‘will’ or ‘would’. What is the difference between ‘can’ and ‘could’ as well as ‘will’ and ‘would’. Can anyone enlighten on this point?
Nux: mainly typo errors. Sometimes being confused on whether to use past/present tense.

*end copy paste*
