Grammatical Errors

Here are a few grammatical errors I found in some essays:

People will spend more time to visit their friends.
Corrected: People will spend more time VISITING their friends.

A plenty of cars are on the streets causing traffic jams.
"A" should not be in front of "plenty." "Too many cars" is actually a better choice considering the context of the sentence.

Word of the day: bureaucracy, "a system of administration marked by officialism, red tape, and proliferation." This definition is from Merriam Webster. Because of all the bureaucracy, I didn't receive my parking permit for months.
