Some of these might be considered typos, but I teach beginners and I see
these all the time:

1. Trying to use a function as a procedure.
2. Trying to use a procedure as a function.
3. Forgetting to put a continuation character at the end of a line.
4. Forgetting to put a comma after the last argument before a
continuation character.
5. Forgetting to start X-Windows before plotting a graph.
6. File name does not match program name (not even close).
7. Unwillingness to use HELP or ?
8. Using both a / and an = sign with a keyword parameter.
