And these may be considered basic errors, but I think very helpful:

Hi Daniel, since you mentioned affect/effect, my two cents:
These are very "popular" errors, such as it's vs. its, your vs. you're and
their vs there vs they're:

I am not a native speaker, but from your sentences below I think that
effect/affect is definitely an error.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to evaluate LT results, but there are some cases where I'm not sure
if the message by LT is actually a false alarm of not. Could a native speaker
maybe have a look at these sentences and the LT output and let me know if the
sentence is actually okay or not, or if it's okay but maybe bad style?
Thanks
Daniel
