Post Blitz's English
Can you guys help me note my English errors in any post I make, such as spelling and punctuation errors? I'm trying to learn punctuation mostly, but my spelling also needs help.

Thanks in advance (Is there something wrong in this post, btw?).

You can start by telling me what's wrong with that sentence.

Repetivity. "Needs less help, but needs help". Tautology is using different words to repeat the same thing without providing additional information.

Haks was right. It is repetitive.

CCS, you were on the right track too.

Is it better now?

I see that I also need to learn how to not make awkward word pairings.

I mean as in knowing where to place said word in a sentence. I'm familiar with double negatives and such, but my sentences may sound awkward.

I also feel there is something wrong in this post...

That's pretty weird, bro.
