I find that the lie/lay one is quite common with US writers. You (generic!) often write "lay" when it should be "lie". I find I have to restrain myself from leaping up and down and screaming things like "Lay what? Eggs?" at the monitor - which may give you a somewhat irreverant method of remembering which to use!
The one I have most difficulty with is who/whom. That often takes some head-in-hands thinking about and I'm never confident I've got it right.
