I have edited many articles. It is my responsibility to try to improve the English grammar. I hope it helps.
I often see authors saying "have to" in situations where I do not see anything that is a requirement for doing. For example "In this article we have to describe" something. I do not understand why we have to describe it; we are simply describing it.
I apologize if that sounds like I am being critical. I am trying to explain what I am thinking. I really want to ask if there is something I misunderstand. I usually delete the part that says "have to" but if there is something important that is lost by deleting that then please explain.

I seldom see spelling errors. I assume authors are using the spell checker or a spell checker. And see, that is one thing that makes English confusing; the logical term is "spelling checker" but for some reason people usually say "spell checker". I think it is possible to implement a simple grammar checker. We cannot check for everything but at the other end of the scale there are a few things that could be checked for. There are some things that could be identified as possible corrections.
I do see authors doing better at using the grammar that I use. Doing it my way is not the important part; the important part is that they are trying to write well.
