When wiring a wall switch which color wire goes on the common terminal screws?
A typical switch doesn't have a Common screw in the strictest sense, it just has two screws which are each side of the switch. You probably have a a 3-way switch. If you are hooking up a 3-way switch as a normal switch, then connect the Black (Hot) wire to the common and the load to the side of the switch that makes UP the on direction and DOWN is off and doesn't get connected. You can determine for sure if you have a 3-way switch because the word ON and OFF don't appear on the toggle.

Is there a danger if you mix up ground wire and common wire when wiring a light switch?
Power out of a switch is not negative. It is still the "hot" conductor. The ground wire in a switch junction box in home wiring is the bare wire. It is nearly impossible to mix these two wires up. Most likely if the "hot" supply comes into the switch box the neutral wire will be with it. Just wire nut the two white wires together, incoming and outgoing. The two black wires will be connected to the switch to operate the light fixture.
Can you replace a 3-way light switch with a standard switch and cap off the wires or can you use the 3-way switch and make it into a standard switch?
It can be done but it requires knowledge about how a 3way is wired to convert it to a regular switch. It would involve testing live wires to determine where power starts at. You can't just replace one switch.
How do you hook up a light switch?
To hook up a light switch, first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the black wire from the switch to the black wire from the power source, and the white wire to the white wire. Finally, connect the ground wire to the green screw on the switch. Secure the switch in place and turn the power back on to test the connection.
How do you wire up a light switch in a home electrical system?
To wire up a light switch in a home electrical system, you need to first turn off the power to the circuit.
