First, you need to show you have some kind of grammatical sense.
Unless you're joking by saying "every few errors," then I applaud you for wanting to put forth the effort and using some wordplay to get your point across.
Second, if you do indeed possess some grammatical sense, proceed by reporting the errors like normal and be sure to provide and edit with solid or well-thought reasoning. The rest is up to the Encyclopedists.

Ah yeah, I didn't make much sense there huh. I just meant that I'd like to correct all mistakes I find along not that there are that much. Though bad grammar is not all that's required for translations.
Oh, I didn't see the link for reporting errors. I usually edit only what I put in so I haven't looked for another link, thanks for the info~

Beside the entered info for a series' Encyclopedia entry, you should see this symbol:
Click on it, then click on the error link that pops up to the right of it. Fill out the info boxes on the next page and that's it.

The icon is only displayed after you click on the "report an error" or "lookup sources" link at the bottom, or if you have your preferences setup that way. By default the icon is not shown.
