I use spell check...so it's basically "word usage" not spelling, that trips me up.

I get the red zig zag line under my misspelled words from Fire Fox, but it doesn't always help when I spell form instead of from.

My thing is not misspelling certain words, but I hate when people use the word "literally" when they really don't mean it.

"My heart literally dropped out of my chest!"

Really?

Did you know if you took all the veins in your body and laid them end to end...you would die? -literally!!!!

Mike Judge's Idiocracy isn't really all that far away. The US has already entered the post-literate age.
