At this point, many people are leaning on Artificial Intelligence for their English writing. Artificial Intelligence is great for many things, but ChatGPT, Google Bard, and others warn that though artificial intelligence is very useful, and even amazing, these technologies make mistakes. Should we depend on a perfection that hasn't arrived yet to present ourselves to the world?"Fix Your Top English Grammar Mistakes" teaches grammar mistakes that many people make, and in fixing those mistakes, it helps you look your best.  It's also a challenge -- a comparison between the way an experienced linguist teaches these crucial grammar points and how AI does it.
