Most of the mistakes listed are (in my experience) made by native speakers, not those who have English as a second language. We make mistakes you natives would never do though, so it evens out in the end. When to split up words or write them together in compounds is tricky business, for instance.
The Swedish rules and practices are way different when it comes to this. Sticking to either American English or British English is also pretty hard. I was taught British English in school, but most English I come across in movies and on the web is American.
