Truly awful grammar. One of the very few books I never finished was a travel book -- autographed, no less. It was rife with really basic grammar errors. Perhaps the author didn't know better, but wasn't there an editor involved somewhere along the line? (And if there was, he or she should have been fired.)
I've heard that Ray Bradbury was once asked when he planned to update Fahrenheit 451, by which the questioner meant exchange some of the male characters for female ones. Bradbury is supposed to have nipped that one in the bud with no hesitation.
I'd like to also throw in a vote for glaring historical inaccuracies.
