 The following "master list" of errors comes from a (still-incomplete) document of advice for amateur writers which writer Robert M. Schroeck has been composing on and off since early 2007 (a similar list by the same author can be found here). While it is in no way definitive or exhaustive, it is rather extensive and ever-so-faintly snarky in places. It is more-or-less organized in alphabetical order by the erroneous word or phrase, although in some cases two or more terms may turn out to be interchangeably misused for each other, in which case the "key" entry is pretty much arbitrarily selected.
Additional examples are always welcome.
A term that will be found frequently in the following, but which may not be immediately familiar, is "eggcorn." "Eggcorns" are words or phrases that a person has only ever heard and never seen written, which when that person needs to write them down get written the way they sound to them. The term comes from the transcription someone once made of the word "acorn," which they had somehow gotten through their life without once seeing in print. The eggcorn is the half-sibling of the mondegreen.
An excellent guide to known eggcorns can be found here.
Related to the eggcorn is "eye dialect." This is a term for the writer's device of spelling words as they sound to give a sense of a speaker with a foreign accent, an odd dialect, or poor education. For example, using "gonna" for "going to." In general, this is a deliberate stylistic choice made by a writer, but on this page it's used also to reflect a variety of eggcorn that is caused by poor literacy skills—the key example would be writing the contraction "'ve" as " of" (as in "could of", "would of") out of simple incomprehension that the words in question are a contraction.
As a final note, the original core set of examples here were primarily collected from Fan Fics (mostly for anime, at least at first). As a result, you will occasionally find specific references (though not links) to the fics in question; this is to allow the reader the opportunity to view the errors in their native environment, should they so choose.
Compare Rouge Angles of Satin. For the punctuation and grammar equivalents, see Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma and Tenses, respectively.
Making any of these booboos is likely to incur the wrath of a Grammar Nazi.

 The name of a show is always singular, even if the last part of the title is plural. Therefore, saying "The Fairly OddParents! are getting stale" is incorrect, assuming you are referring to the show and not the title characters.

 Another pluralization issue: NOTHING is pluralized with an apostrophe. Lex Luthor can take forty cakes, but never forty cake's. God help you if you combine this with the above and conjure up the abomination "story's" when you mean "stories". The apostrophe-S construction is possessive.
Come and hear the story's story, the tale of the fortieth floor.
Numbers aren't pluralized with an apostrophe—e.g. it's "the '60s", not "the 60's". The apostrophe in "the '60s" denotes an elision, not a plural.
The "s" denoting the third person singular present tense of a verb never has an apostrophe, either.
