Specifically the itty-bitty grammar mistakes that nobody cares about, like when someone says "less" when they mean "fewer", or "whom" when they mean "who".
Someone will say "I've got less than ten items," and before I can stop myself, I'll go "fewer than ten..." before realising that I'm nitpicking again. I'll then stop my nitpick mid-sentence and say something like, "Aaaargh gotta stop doing that!!!"
Confuses the hell out of people...
