Most of those were fixed.

- "(s)" used 5 times Please do not form plurals this way. It is a
  holdover from lazy programming practices, is difficult to read, and
  almost always unnecessary. A plural formed with a plain "s" is usually
  correct when speaking about numbers of one or more.
- "in order to" used 6 times Unless "in order to" has some special
  meaning here, "to" is simpler.
- "i.e." used 1 time "I.e." (Latin "id est") means "that is" and is
  mostly used in academic and scientific writing. Consider replacing
  with the more common English words. Both forms are usually followed by
  a comma for a verbal pause: "i.e., a b c" or "that is, a b c"
- "e.g." used 1 time "E.g." (Latin "exempli gratia") means "for example"
  and is mostly used in academic and scientific writing. Consider
  replacing with the more common English words. Both forms are usually
  followed by a comma for a verbal pause: "e.g., a b c" or "for example,
  a b c"
- "simply" used 3 times Use "simply" to mean "in a simple manner",
  "just", or "merely", not the patronizing "details omitted because they
  are not simple enough for you". "basically" used 2 times Use
  "basically" to mean "essentially" or "fundamentally", not "only the
  basics are shown because anything more will be too complicated for
  you".
- "the following" used 18 times "as follows" used 3 times If something
  is following, the reader can see it without being told.
- "should" used 83 times Use "should" sparingly, it is feeble and
  suggests unsureness. Attempt to be imperative: "do this" rather than
  "you should do this".
- "you" used 176 times "your" used 84 times "You" and "your" are
  informal and subjective. Attempt to be formal and objective: "the
  file" rather than "your file".
