A grammatical problem that was hard to notice was when I would say "that" for "who" or "who" for "that." It is a sneaky little error and catches me a lot of the time. Anyways I looked it up and found a website that helped me remember the difference.
The rule is that when you are talking about a person you say "who" and when you are talking about a object you say "that". I know it seems pretty obvious, when you are flowing with a sentence you tend to overlook such a small error.
For example: "You know bob, he is the guy that sold me his car." See it is pretty are to spot because it sounds good in the sentence. However, instead of say "that" it should say "You know Bob, he is the guy who sold me his car.
Anyways, if you want more information or examples on this error go to http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/who-versus-that.aspx
