You can look up fallacies in all the links in these results. Deciding which are "some common...that lead to miscommunication" will need to come from your mind and understanding.

Please repost and let us know what you have come up with, and someone here will be able to critique your thinking.

One of the most common fallacies is nicknamed "mind-reading" — the assumption that you know what the person means without checking with that person. (See http://www.members.cox.net/dagershaw/lol/Listener.htm.)

One of the best ways to avoid mind-reading is to use feedback — repeat to the speaker what you think that you heard them say in your own words. The speaker can then either acknowledge that you are correct or wrong, most likely correcting you if you had a misinterpretation. If you did misinterpret, give feedback again to the new message.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
