Well, last year during NaNoWriMo, Grammarly.com did something unique. They worked with nearly 500 writers from 54 countries to crowdsource a novel. They analyzed the resulting 40,000 or so words and uncovered some writing mistakes that happened time and again, then summarized the top five in a handy infographic:

Grammerly, thanks for sharing such useful writing information with us. As an editor, I see these types of errors. Number one is probably the most frequent error.
Grammerly, it's been a while since we've connected via e-mail. Glad to see you offering your wisdom on Writers on the Move--a great group of writers who would never "make" one of these mistakes, but might gloss over one of them in the reading. Thus the reason for a great editing program like yours--or a great editor. Or both!
Thanks for sharing this, Karen. It's a good reminder. I am not doing NaNo this year and I really miss the thrill!
Hey, Shir, I haven't even tried it once yet. One year . . . :)
