Another weakness is Grammar mistakes, like using farther instead of further. They way i can improve upon these weaknesses is practicing verb editing, knowing where to put commas, periods and apostrophes. Another way i can improve on these mistakes is limiting and cutting ideas that are not needed, and seeing what best fits in my paper.
