To people with native contact, what are the most common japanese mistakes natives make?

Curious, what is the Japanese equivalent of loose/lose or you’re/your? I’m talking errors that are very frequent and noticeable yet obviously wrong.

A reliable source I know (a japanese teacher I know privately) once told me that counters are easily one of the biggest things that natives make mistakes with. Mainly because there are a lot of obscure counters used in japanese for oddly specific things. So admittedly not super common but tied to the more rare uses.

I mean when we are talking about writing: Kanjis are basically autocorrect/completion hell. So if you don’t concentrate and write fast you make lots and lots of 変換へんかんミス. Its probably comparable right? If english writers would concentrate they would propably get their/they’re straight too?
