Thinking that the presence of 2 pronouns instead of 1 magically converts the objective into the subjective. That is:
"Dad drove me to the movies." (correct)
"Dad drove John and I to the movies." (Incorrect - The fact that John was there does not magically convert "me" to "I"; it's still objective.)
"Dad drove me to the movies." (correct)
"Dad drove John and I to the movies." (Incorrect - The fact that John was there does not magically convert "me" to "I"; it's still objective.)

It's even worse when "myself" is used in a non-reflexive way.

This. For each time these are used correctly on this board, they are used incorrectly ten times.
Same for than/then.

This one is definitely my biggest one because the two have exact opposite meanings
Posted on 3/10/19 at 10:19 pm to AMac
Likely a tie between want/won't and your/you're. The want/won't one can completely change the meaning of the statement if used incorrectly.

Giving people the benefit of the doubt here, but I think texting definitely is often autocorrected to defiantly.
