What’s the most common mistake in written dialogue?

Complete sentences. Bad movie dialogue speaks in complete sentences without any overlapping or interruption, and avoids elliptical speech, which is truer to how people actually talk.

“MY FILMMAKING EDUCATION CONSISTED OF FINDING OUT WHAT FILMMAKERS I LIKED WERE WATCHING, THEN SEEING THOSE FILMS. I LEARNED THE TECHNICAL STUFF FROM BOOKS AND MAGS, AND WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY YOU CAN WATCH ENTIRE MOVIES ACCOMPANIED BY COMMENTARY FROM THE DIRECTOR. YOU CAN LEARN MORE FROM JOHN STURGES' AUDIO TRACK ON THE 'BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK' LASERDISC THAN YOU CAN IN 4 YEARS OF FILM SCHOOL. FILM SCHOOL IS A COMPLETE CON, BECAUSE THE INFORMATION IS THERE IF YOU WANT IT.” P.T. Anderson
