Simon Slaughters,

At a certain point of no visible change, people stop looking. If people take the time to point out that you still have errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, structure, formatting or composition, you need to fix those with highest priority. Nobody will read a story they can't read.

There are some really good writers here. (I am not counting myself among them, I mean REALLY good.) When they take the time to review your work, you should seriously consider that they are correct with their evaluation. When two or three say the same thing, they almost certainly are right. You need to get those issues fixed, even if it means a stem to stern rewrite.

You need to learn how to edit mercilessly. If it doesn't drive the story forward, you don't need it.
