Ensure correct spelling and grammar for clarity and coherence throughout the essay. Many spelling errors (e.g., 'phenomen', 'defineatily', 'advence', 'saleries', 'conterporery', 'physcial', 'messangs') and grammatical mistakes ('has faster', 'has higher then higher', 'that wil be strange') detract from the overall coherence and can confuse readers.
