Sometimes while writing, we often makes silly mistakes that we don't catch right away away. - This is actually one of those mistakes.

Our eyes and attentiveness is not set at a naturally high level to notice, but there are two of the same words right after the other. This is commonly seen on ads as well as online writings if you look enough.

Other common mistakes might be the misuse of similar words like affect/effect.

Here is the difference:

Effect is most commonly used as a noun meaning the result or impact of something. An example would be, nausea effects you in an unsettling way.

To confuse you further, effect can also be used as a verb to mean to produce or to cause to come into being. An example would be the effect of a sedative.

Affect is most often used as a verb meaning. Particularly in headlines or articles. 

"Smog Affects Grand Canyon Tourist Rate"

The fog affects your field of vision in the early morning.

Now onto another common issue, the usage of quotation marks is another mistake.

When a person is speaking you should have it surrounded by marks.

"Right James!" Said the mean looking man in raggy clothes.

Also when two separate people are speaking, they should be separated to give a cleaner look to the writing regardless of the amount. There are some other rules to this situation, but I don't feel like discussing this at the moment. I hope you found this information I've posted useful.
