Except for one typo I got them all on my first try.
I guess it would be harder for native English speakers since they learn the language before they learn to read & write.

Not entirely sure about Q14, I'm fairly confident it's not a grammatical mistake as much as it's an idiomatic expression I'm not noticing, but oh well. :D

Edit: Never mind, that was extremely clever tho.

That was rather easy, although not so for a non-native speaker like me.
But Q14. What on Earth it can be?

Thanks. Yeeeah. Just like some other user said here, that was clever.

The only thing left now is Q16. Also epic, it seems.

Thanks for the hint! An interesting read as well.
Though that list doesn't really seem ordered, I found some of them blatantly obvious (do people really make that mistake?) while others were diabolically subtle. I do disagree with the author's #12: I'm pretty sure it's a valid expression (albeit slang) to share what's on your mind.

I think it would be "a piece of my mind" rather than just "piece of mind" in that case.
