The major problem I find is the writers whose grip on the English language is so loose that they keep slipping between past and present tense. Writing in present tense is suspect enough, but is it really that hard to remember which you're writing in for as long as a single paragraph?

To be fair, there are a lot of wirters who are very good about the technical quality of their writing (and spellchecking anything with Japanese names in it is time-consuming at best), with maybe the odd persistent mistake. Like Skysaber's 'deliberate' use of Pheonix. (deliberate? yaright)
