For native English speakers, at least (and I live in the US, where English is the predominant language), I'd think most people would have a fairly good grasp on the language.  But I often see simple mistakes such as people using the wrong version of their/they're/there, your/you're, etc., and using an apostrophe for a plural, etc..  Things like that seem like simple mistakes where I'd think at least native speakers would know better.
