Now you as the writer would not be able to tackle all these errors, but me as a writer, editor and proofreader would. Other problems I tackle in your document are readability, negatives, redundancies, plagiarism, incorrect references or errors in references, paraphrasing, readers' disinterest in document and paragraph relatability.
As the writer, you don't notice these things, but that's okay, I'm here to fix it for you without shifting from your writing style. 😃
