To be fair, Nords don't exactly read and overall have fairly crap writing ability. Only Jarls or other Nobles can actually spell or write with any level of success, the common man or woman most probably dont have a clue. So to say that poor grammer breaks immersion isn't exactly true
For example, this book that Bethesda put into the game...
Hey, just wanted to pop in to give you a little feedback. This mod has some compatibility issues with both UFO and the BBLS follower options. The BBLS options don't show up within his dialogue options at all (perhaps due to lack of voice samples for it). As for UFO, Tiberius has a tendency to hang within the menus; he'll say something, but the game will register that he is still speaking and refuse to continue the conversation. Lastly, he seems to like being my companion a little bit too much as he refuses to be dismissed. The mod seems interesting; good luck to you.
This is a really awesome concept. I always love custom voiced followers (if it was well done!). I'm definitely tracking this until I'm able to occupy my computer again
I'd like to extend some feedback even without having tried your mod, as for your description and the book in game. Both texts use ";" (semicolon) extensively, which in most uses is slightly incorrect. It's a merged form of comma and colon. In all of the places you used the semicolon I would use a comma or a period instead.
This also brings me to your heavy sentences. Most of your sentences are way too long, and should have two to four breaks to make the text more readable. Sure, it can be a stylistic choice, but it's actually difficult to read the book's first and second sentence (try it yourself). I recommend making the two into a number from seven to ten sentences for better flow.
Hope you can appreciate grammatical feedback without "omfg gramurpolice, wut do". It's important to have perfect punctuation, grammar etc. when releasing a mod for such an immersive game. Many people feel that an incorrect spelling or otherwise faulty text immediately breaks immersion. I have uninstalled or altered to my liking all the mods with such errors

Tiberius will not speak to me. Nor does he have a voice. I figured this after beating him to a pulp and he said nothing.
