Ten Grammar Errors That Haunt Web Pages And Blogs
A list of the top 10 grammar mistakes that are generally found on web pages, and of course blogs as well:
1. it’s = it is
2. Web site (or page) vs. web site/page vs. Website/website (page)
3. Periods and commas: do they go inside or outside of quotation marks, or does it depend on the sentence?
4. E-mail vs. email, plus what is the plural of e-mail?
5. SEOs or SEO’s
6. Spelling
7. Hyphens
8. Their vs. there vs. they're / You vs. your vs. you're
9. Singular vs. plural
10. Commas
It's true that these are the most common mistakes I see out there and that I find myself committing every once in a while even though I try my best not to.
A book that I recommend and that really helped me a lot on some of these points is Lynne Truss' Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, which is a fun book that handles all punctuation issues. [You can buy it here]

Thanks for the book. I mostly forget the 's' with he and she and it and for the plural. In addtion, adjectives doesn't take the 's' of the plural in english ...
