You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

2. You had no introduction or conclusion to your article. You jumped right into the main points without preparing your audience.
3. Its versus it's. Its means belonging to it. It's means it is. Yes, this is grammar again, but you do it quite often.
4. Be more confident/concrete with your statements. You use too many phrases like "has often been found" that don't make you sound very certain of your points.
5. No sources. You state that these are the biggest mistakes but have no evidence for your findings.
