Please add your thoughts!

1. Grammatical errors
a) Subject Verb Agreement: Singular goes with singular, plural goes with plural, lists of singulars are plural
b) Parallelism
c) ...

2. Meaning (if still no matching answer found)

3. Conciseness (if still no matching answer found)

1. Easy-to-spot errors: pronouns, verbs (agreement and tense), connecting words (especially in more complex sentences), parallel form (especially in comparisons)
2. Meaning--Is the meaning clear? Is there more than one interpretation?
3. Stylistic concerns
