Spelling is one of the most important pieces to a written document. Good spelling makes a persons writing look more professional, and most of the time the reader will judge the writer if their writing is of poor spelling quality. You do not want to send an email to your boss and have him wonder why he hired you after seeing your spelling. To reduce spelling errors, I have came up with a short list of tips that everyone could use.
1) For a questionable word, don't just scan through the possibilities in your mind, say it outloud.
2)Have someone proofread your article.
3)Put your writing away for some time, and than come back and try again.
It doesn't matter if you're a ivy league student or a fourth-grader, good spelling should always be at the top of your list when proofreading or revising your writing.

ReplyDeleteone wonders if peoples ability to proof read and actual look for errors has decrease with the invention of spell check?
ReplyDeleteI like the short, simple and straight to the point approach. However, Cite your sources and dont be afraid to expand on some points.
ReplyDeleteProofread your work, Blake, for punctuation errors (person's not persons). The length is fine and good use of white space. I need more visuals though.
