The article was very well put. I still can't believe there are some kids who are graduating high school and cannot read! That's a travesty!

This chap needs a bit of Remedial English, himself.
''has been dating'' is hardly the present tense, which would be the awkward construction ''John dates Jane on Fridays''. ''has been dating'' is the present perfect progressive, describing an action or actions performed in the past and which has or have continued until the present, and possibly into the future.
Time to take out the Strunk & White, 'Professor'.

5) Jane had been dating John for two years. Sorry, that's the past perfect tense.
The past tense is "Jane dated John for two years."

7) What is the main use of a semi-colon? That depends on whether you have performed a partial colectomy or have constructed a neo-bladder after urinary bladder resection.
"So, the semi-colon that we used for your neo-bladder is now for Number One and the remainder of your colon is still for Number Two."
