A mistake I see in student papers about three or four times a semester is the mix-up between 'compliment' and 'complement'. Those two words each have various meanings, so it's a pretty easy error to make. But that one tiny letter in the middle makes a big difference.
In a post today over at the Columbia Journalism Review, 'compliment' and 'complement' are cleared up for you. Go take a look and make an effort to avoid this mistake in your future writing classes. I'm offering you this complimentary advice so that if you are able to complement your good content with good grammar, your teacher will toss you a nice compliment.
