Missing Words

"I couldn't believe it. I accidentally the whole thing!" Remember, spellcheck won't notice if you drop a word.

Wrong Dates

"My life changed significantly when I started high school in 2080." If you include a sentence like this, your readers will be amazed by either your carelessness or your time travelling abilities.

Verb Tense
