Whats wrong with this sentence.

Does that drive you nuts to look at? Me too. Grammatical errors do you no favors when you’re trying to build a brand that consumers trust. If the product description suddenly says “tihgts” instead of “tights” (true story), how likely are you to type in your credit card number and other sensitive personal information? While I may be a super-nerd for noticing the errors I see everywhere, misspelled words and misplaced (or overused) commas add up over time and erode your audience’s confidence in your authority and credibility. There may be some great tools out there correcting the obvious blunders, but Grammarly does not catch everything. Let me smooth out awkward syntax, swap out I-do-not-think-that-word-means-what-you-think-it-means word choices, and make sure any “technically incorrect” rule-breaking spelling/grammar choices are on-brand and intentional. ‘Cause who doesn’t like breaking a few rules here and there?

I loved this guide a friend of a friend put together and shared in a Facebook group for expats in Mexico, but I knew that a few corrections and tweaks here and there would help bolster his credibility as a language tutor in both English and Spanish. Below is the first page of the guide with my suggested edits added graphically (thanks, Canva). What I actually sent him was a Google Doc with the full text of the edited document so that he could easily copy and paste sections into his own design.
