The one that sticks in my mind most as a huge WTF?? was someone having Remus Lupin using a LAPTOP in 1979. Like, that's not even something you need to research! Just ask someone over 40!
I've gotten used to people getting New York City wrong (SO WRONG) but it still irritates me. It's not hard to get a Google Street View of a place!
I also dislike it immensely when people try to write about a sport and clearly know nothing of the sport itself. (Having a pitcher bat in an American League game springs to mind.) I remember posting about it and being reminded that often, people don't know what they don't know, so they make erroneous assumptions that they don't need to research. *hands* I'm sure I've done it with other subjects, so I can't complain too much, but it does always make me wince.
