#Plagiarism is the use of another's words as one's own without giving proper credit. This is true even if you "paid for it" and have permission to use it
 +
#Selected examples do ''not'' prove a trend. If you want to show that "most people do X" by example, you can never prove your point with examples
 +
#Don't use "literally" if you mean "figuratively". Don't use "literally" if there's no figurative way to take a sentence.

#"Ironic" means that something happened opposite to what you expect to happen. A woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is sad. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is coincidence. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by an ''insulin'' truck is ironic.

#Finding "please add more" on a wiki page. For one, lists rarely make a good article (and often contribute to pet peeve #2); additionally, all wikis are works in progress, so there's always an implied assumption to add more to an article.
 +
#More to come <!-- now *that* is ironic humor -->
