A close reading of the language guide[1] will reveal quite a few of these 
pitfalls; look especially for all the occurrences of the phrase "please note".

The style guide[2] goes pretty far down this road too but (by design, I guess) 
is more pedagogic than normative. That is, it intentionally doesn't talk about 
when its guidelines should be violated :)
