Your English is so good. Yes, you are absolutely correct. The errors
you mention are exactly as you say. I have to confess I only glanced
at the article and did not read it carefully.

Only recently I was doing research for two of my classes concerning
Pablo Picasso. The article I found on the Internet was poorly written
and had several errors. I certainly could not print it and pass it
out!
