Most Common Mistakes in Writing
Top Twenty Specific Problems
The following links deal
with the twenty most common problems that I have found in grading student
papers. Students will laugh if I mention these problems in class, but almost
every student paper will include at least one of these problems — and I’ve seen
more than a few papers and exams that make over half of these
mistakes.

others of the same kind,” from the Latin “et cetera.” See also theUVIC Writer’s Guide - et al.: “And others,” from
the Latin “et alii” [masc.], “et aliae” [fem.], or “et
alia” [neutral] (as in “Singer, et al., found an important
difference between the 19th and 20th centuries”).
18. “Now,” “Know,” and “No“
- Now: Refers to the present
time (as in “What we need now is a good
rainstorm”) - Know: A verb, reflecting
recognition or understanding (as in “I know everything there is
to know about this subject”) - No: The opposite of yes (as

- Border: In international

such as someone who is paying for meals and lodging or someone whose job
involves going aboard seagoing vessels. - So the correct international relations term is
“border,” as in the “Canadian border.” A
“Canadian boarder” refers to someone from the Great White North who is renting a
room, rather than a line on a map separating Canada from Minnesota or New
York.
20. “Block” versus “Bloc“

pictures of Lenin (making for a very unusual child’s toy
