For real, stop. You get a few right but a lot you get wrong and out of context.

Okay, i'll bite with a few that made me inwardly cringe and one that annoyed me.
All of the above were already correct given context and speakers personality.
This is the one that annoyed me.
The sentence in the game is absolutely correct given Violets personality. Your correction completely neuters her.
And that, right there, is the main issue with nearly all of your corrections. In an English essay they may be correct, in a story about people trying to convey a personality they make it all so mechanical and bland.
Simply put, most of your corrections are out of context and have no place in character writing.

Most of his corrections don't even have a place there either, unless American culture has dumbed down English universities so much since I got my degree (as an Englishman).

TBF, commas can really change the meaning of a sentence in my native language, but yeah, it is weird to see in any other languageDamn, it's rare to to see this level of comma-obsession, fixation, hell, let's call it what it is - fetish, in a language other than german.

CboyC95 is mostly right. A few of the proposed changes are either wrong or unnecessary, like the total rewrites. But most of them, especially the apparently dreaded commas, are correct.
How can it be a bad thing to get as much of it right as you can? As someone who really likes Actual Roommates and only wants to see it be better, I approve of getting even details like commas and missing periods right.
I get that most of you don't care about it. It doesn't bother me much. In which case you should either correct the ones you think are wrong (instead of wasting everyone's time with posts such as "Mainly because they weren't right" or "Because they were?") or leave it alone.

N, they aren't...
Oh we do care...but we're actually English and we are right, especially in terms of context and character writing.
If one is going to publically try and be a smart ass grammar nazi, one better have a very firm grasp of the language and its use beforehand.
