My favourite grammar error, I suppose, is the so-called 'split infinitive' because I don't think it is an error and I find it interesting when people tell me it is.

to have a favorite grammatical error,
one must know that grammar well...
and two of the things i didn't learn in school,
was stringin words, and how to spell...

Dangling and misplaced modifiers can be interesting.

Ha ha. Indeed. Of course, in his mind, BigDoggProblem can - and probably does - have more than one thing that is equally favourite to him ~ nothing huckleberryhound can do can alter that fact ~ so, one can deduce that BigDoggProblem is not questioning his own ability but is instead asking permission to stray a little from the stricture implied by the thread title. 😛

"Practice" is a noun, "practise" is a verb; British English makes this distinction, but I find American usage often makes no distinction there.

EDIT: BTW, the title of this thread contains a grammatical error and a mis-captialization.
