Wrestling with language

Ex-wrestling boss Linda McMahon, now Trump’s education chief, has written to Harvard concerning funding cut threats as a result of them not stopping pro-Palestinian demos. The letter was also posted on X. Some kind soul, not Harvard itself, has taken the effort to correct her mistakes using a red pen, or maybe two given how many mistakes there were. There is not enough space in a short letter to detail them here but they are online.

Anyone can make mistakes or auto correct can change the context completely, maybe changing Trump to Tramp, but an official document should be checked or at least run through an online grammar checker, there are free versions. As the person in charge of education, there is an assumed ability to use the language of the land well or at least correctly.

Is this just another example of a Trump appointment without the skills to do the job? I ran this through a free online grammar checker and it added a comma and wanted to convert a other comma to a full stop.
