First Draft Is Hard To Take Seriously

There are a lot of problems here suggesting that you’re not clear on period, comma, or apostrophe use. That makes for a sloppy paper that gets confusing as sentences run together (see top of page 3), thoughts end before they are completed, and housing is confused (“Julie house” and “Elijah house” instead of “Julie’s house” and “Elijah’s house”). You plant some good references to Oed, it’s just hard for your readers to take you seriously when this reads like a first draft.
