Quoting caliptrix: Quoting Dilara:
Yes, you're right caliptrix "The person that I meet" looks better! I didnt know that if I wrote "Beni duzeltebilir misiniz" it would sound like changing my behavior etc so "yanlislarimi duzeltebilir misiniz" sounds much better...one last question, in how many different ways can I say "my writing mistake" can I say "Yazi hatalarimi duzeltebilir misiniz?"?
Simdiden tesekkurler!

I think these are ok;
yanlışlarımı/hatalarımı kontrol eder misin?
yanlışlarımı/hatalarımı düzeltir misin?
As kontrol etmek means "to check", you can say "yazdıklarımı kontrol eder misin?", maybe you don't have a mistake 
We say also "bakmak" as "to check":
Yaptıklarıma/yazdıklarıma bir bakar mısın?
I also hear this:
Hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) bakar mısın?
hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) kontrol eder misin?
"bir" is used here like "take a look"
And you may use them with the negatives too:
hata var mı yok mu, diye (bir) bakar mısın?
One more I know commonly used:
Yanlışlarımı söyler misin?
I want to say "düzeltmek" is not used as much as "to correct" is used in English. We just say "to check"=kontrol etmek/bakmak and it also have the meaning of "to correct" inside.
----
"Yazı hatalarımı düzeltebilir misiniz" sounds strange, because of isim tamlaması: yazı hataları. It is odd for my ears. But I cannot find something better. 
yazım (with m, not -my- suffix) means spelling/dictation. So does "imla". Yazım hataları or imla hataları can be used for here, but it is not related to the grammar. |
Thank you once again for your explanation!
I didnt know that " Yazı hatalarımı düzeltebilir misiniz" sounded strange, but actually, when you say this, do you mean that it is totally wrong or that (somehow) It could be understood (I mean somehow it makes sense)
 of course, I do not want just to make sense I want to write proper turkish .
On the other hand, I had never seen this structure:
Hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) bakar mısın?
hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) kontrol eder misin?
I cant grasp it because whenever I see the word "diye" I know I am going into trouble because I cant understand it well, I see it in many dialogues but still, I cant understand the usage and meaning of "Diye" I am already asking something else by writing this but I promise I will give you some days off
Seni rahatsiz ettigim için uzgunum
Dilara.

In my humble opinion it should be "acıYdı".
"Y" is a buffer between an adjective ending in a vowel and the past tense endings.

Seems easier to me, but someone correct me if I'm wrong

A sentence =
O, yazdığım cümleyi düzeltti = He/she has corrected (he/she corrected ) the sentence I wrote.
Yazdığım cümle onun tarafından düzeltildi = The sentence I wrote, was corrected by his/her

This one I was expecting, but I wanted to see if it was even possible to put it the awkward way.

In fact, it is not "sounds better". It is how it has to be.
If you say "acıdı", it means "it hurt"
acımak: to hurt
acıdı: past form
"acıydı" is "it was hot/bitter"
acı: hot
acı+idi= acıydı (buffer "y" needed)
