Grammar
One short paragraph (3 sentences long)
Dear All, I'd like to ask for your assistance.
Could you please look at the following lines and tell me if everything is fine with them in terms of grammar, vocabulary and punctuation? Most importantly, if yoy could tell me why you consider something as an error, I'd be most grateful.
I do not think politics should be a factor here. The fact is that both systems (traditional and simplified) exist and while I agree that there's more beauty and meaning in the traditional characters, the practicality of the simplified ones is undeniable, therefore they aren't useless, as you called them, by any means.
Thank you.

If this is essay-level writing, I would avoid brackets, and either use commas or reword a bit. Also, I wouldn't say the casual aren't or there's.. I'd put a comma before 'while' to set off the subordinate clause.

- You can't join two sentences with 'therefore'.
- You need to say 'and therefore' or, better, start a new sentence with 'Therefore'.

Thank you Clive. Those points you've made are both valuable and enlightening.
That fragment was something I posted on a discussion forum. It's not part of an essay.
