You missed the following:

Please,
drives
runs,
explorer.
out,

If you're going to be the grammar/spelling police, at least be thorough.

Grin. When I used to grade my grad students homework/papers, I'd not be
bothered with the first several "bad grammar/English"
papers/assignments. By the third or forth, I'd often lose it and they'd
get an F. I'm not a perfectionist at all, especially since English is
NOT my native language, but I still remain at a loss at why American
Public Schools continue to graduate people who cant really write a
basic, good letter.

Adiós y buena suerte. Eduardo.

I didn't know that. What is your native language?. Your signature below is
Spanish, but your last name isn't Spanish.

And grad students? I didn't know you were a teacher.Where? What did you
teach?

Because if they didn't there would be hardly anyone left to graduate, and
the schools would go out of business.
