You have not defined what "this" is.  The word "this" is being used here as a 
determinant (I think), but it is not preceded by a sentence defining it.  So, 
we are left hanging in anticipation of you revealing what "this" refers to, 
meanwhile engaging in wild a** guessing as to what it might have been you had 
in your mind, but never wrote down.

Hmm ... same deal here.  You have not defined "it".

By "tho" I assume your mean "though" if you have used a spelling variant of 
the late 19th early 20th century, which in 2017 may appear an oddity.  
Nevertheless, your preference is respected.

Well, "settings" in plural form are more than one and therefore the verb must 
"say" it is.  Of course, settings say nothing, as they are not a person to 
utter words.  Settings define, specify, set, show, indicate, and so on.

"this" and "it" still require defining.

Here we go again:  Alan explained he spotted three (3) things wrong with your 
mail.  He did not say your mail is wrong.  Therefore, "it" is inappropriate in 
form.  It should be in plural.

In addition, I am not sure what setting you may need to change.  I hope it 
will not be painful for either party.

LOL!  I'm only pulling your leg Dale! Wot U wrote was good and proper!  :-)

PS.  I think Peter may be around the corner any minute now, to correct my 
English too!  Ha, ha, ha!
