#1 is the one I find most common and most irritating.

In college, I had papers turned back because of the i.e./e.g. distinction, so it's ingrained. What about nauseous vs. nauseated? Or neglecting an 's' when forming the possessive of singular a noun that ends in 's'?
- Mark Trapp
affect/effect really bug me (when I read it). i.e., e.g. I'm totally guilty of that.
- anna sauce
i.e. / e.g. has never given me much trouble, i just remind myself of the latin and decide which phrase fits.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
... what's the Latin?
- anna sauce
Languages need to change all the time. Even Stephen Fry says it's not worth worrying about. Although I'm often found guilty of being pedantic, if he says it's fine to user "fewer" instead of "less" then it's fine by me.
- Tony Ruscoe
Anna: i.e. — id est, that is. e.g. — exempli gratiā, for example. The way I was taught to remember the difference is that i.e. could also stand for "in essence," which designates not an exemplar, but the essence of what it actually is.

id est (that is) vs. exempli gratia (for example)

Wow, not I feel ready for the National Grammar Rodeo in Canada
- RAPatton
Its funny because as a non native English speaker, I've never made those mistakes. I make tons of mistakes, but their are all different than those ones (i.e place of the words, which have a big affect on the fluidity of my sentences). If I were born American, then I would probably of forgotten those basic grammar rules just after school...
- Jérôme Flipo
#9 is problematic for programmers, always need a "then" statement.
- Victor Ryden
It's (<- see what I did there) a great list, but it does not tell people the reason why they are incorrect, or used incorrectly, and how to stop doing it.
- Tim Hoeck
LOL @ Jérôme. That was painful.
- Admiral Anika
Tim: the list is for "flagrant" mistakes, which presumes that the mistakes are commonly made due to lapse of judgement, not a lack of knowledge about their correct use.
- Mark Trapp
"loose" for "lose" annoys me like no other.
- Darren
Seeing #5 always makes me laugh.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
The sad thing about this list is that I see those mistakes so regularly at work, that I've had to learn to ignore them when I read e-mails or presentations. Because otherwise, I will stab my own face off with my letter opener. So much for being surrounded by educated professionals...
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Loose for lose drives me right up the wall. So do all of the others.

Here are five or six more common errors, I recommend memorizing the list: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians...

#7 spawned one of the better professor vs. professor discussions I overheard in college; basically, one argued for the rule, the other argued that it was arbitrary, stupid and outdated. they were much more eloquent than I can reconstruct.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I'm glad I never did any of the mistakes. Except for #9. Years of programming in BASIC (or any variants of) have ingrained in me that "If" must be followed by "then" or I'll get an error message.

I don't do these 10, but a [#11] often trips me up (but Word's grammar checker catches me) "that" versus "which" -> "which" should be used only when picking between two items, but a 40-yr-old habit has me writing "which" all the time when I shouldn't.

As video increasingly becomes a more prevalent way of delivering news and information on the web, I find myself getting fewer morsels of news and information. I don't want video, folks.

I don't need theme music, either. Just give me the text, people. Just give me the text.

Exactly. Most of the time I don't even have sound on, so I get very little out of videos. Text and pictures is what I want.
- Jordan Hofker
Jordan, good point. I usually have music playing. So they expect me to turn down my music so I can hear them deliver news wrapped in their personalities? The nerve of some people!
- Akiva Moskovitz
I agree completely. It drives me nuts when article links bring me to video or audio presentations that lack text.
- RAPatton
Yes, lolcat pictures.

Who wants to found a company that takes videos and automatically creates transcripts of them? I have no idea how that would even work but I want to make money off of it. Who's with me?!
- Akiva Moskovitz
There are services that will do that. I have looked into it for the podcast, but they are still pretty pricey.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
That's it then! Time to undercut the competition by providing an inferior product! How could this idea possibly go wrong? Who's with me?!
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, there are companies out there like that.
- Rochelle
This also reminds me of another failure with video: it's not indexable.
- Akiva Moskovitz
There's also the annoying issue with video of not having the right player, plugin, updated version of blah blah blah. And it buffers or the sound is poor quality. I prefer words.
- Rochelle
Linux people are pretty much screwed when it comes to most video sharing formats.
- Matthew DeVries
If a video has more than 7 seconds of introduction, they've lost me. But the real nails on the chalkboard aspect of watching videos, which seems especially prevalent in screencasts, are the constant ums, uhs, ahs, and other verbal filler from people who clearly aren't comfortable conveying ideas orally. If you can't finish a sentence without using um to join two clauses together, or at least take the time to edit those pauses out, maybe podcasting or videocasting isn't your thing.
- Mark Trapp
I'm with you. I watch at most 1-2 web videos a week. Video is modal, I want text and images I can scan and either dig into or discard but make the choice to do either in a second.
- Sparky
You know, it's amazing how much lip service has been paid to indexing video and audio, but those services never really took off. You really have to rely on the tags and descriptions of a video.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
I feel the same way (despite the fact that increase in internet video helps my company). Its annoying, invasive and incomplete and a total waste of my time.
- jcunwired
Mark, I agree. I'm down with screencasts (and have actually seen some really good ones) but if you can't get through it without stammering, then you need to write a script and stick with it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
U just saying this because you are Camera SHY
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Well, that, too!
- Akiva Moskovitz
On the issue of indexation, the speculation is that Google's voice recognition, that we've seen in Goog 411 and with lesser success in Google Voicemail transcription, is to be tasked with parsing video for its textual content. It's a boon to the hearing impaired and could provide the grumpier among us with an alternative to viewing content.
- Christopher Harley
this is interesting to me as I'm trying to build up my own video show from the ground upwards. I guess some of it will depend on a few factors such as what they're covering (in my case, video gaming), what method of consumption they're aiming for (web, portable media devices, etc), when and where they're consuming.
- alphaxion
But video is a more effective way to force feed you commercials with your news. Which is why it's becoming prevalent.
- Kevin Pedraja
It's something that Joe Blogger with no budget can't necessarily do. Getting a talking head to look like a proper talking head isn't totally easy and often requires money for studio gear. Making a talking head requires both writing and ability to not stutter on camera. Hosting it without dumping it on youtube is expensive. Etc. So it's a secret way to stiff it to the smaller media properties.
- Wirehead
You don't need high quality equipment to produce a video, there's nothing wrong with using YouTube as the delivery vehicle (or any of the other free to low-cost video providers), and being able to clearly convey your ideas to an audience doesn't cost money. Take, for example, Matt Cutts: while he works for Google, he's using a regular Flip camera and hosting the videos on YouTube for...

- Mark Trapp
I sometimes wonder if the inherent problems with video - that it's not indexable, that there are no automatic transcripts - are exploited by some people. Fringe wackos are more likely than the mainstream to post links to videos rather than text pages, IME.
- Andrew C
Automatic transcription will come to the web soon. It's already possible on pro editing software to search video by words spoken within it.

@mark trapp exactly. I made my own green screen for less than £10 and I use consumer equipment (macbook, canon HF100, final cut express, samson C03U, a few desk lights, grand total = £1650 ish). Tho, I do take the time to write a script so I'm not umming and ahhing. The two most time consuming aspects are the writing and the video editing.
