What Can YOU Do To Avoid Errors?
1. Use your computer Spelling/Grammar check every single time you
send out written material. You'll be amazed at how many times you
miss something obvious. It won't catch everything, but it's a start.
2. Proofread like crazy--word by word, even from right to left. Reread
the next day if you have the time or at least an hour or two later.
3. Ask a colleague or friend to proofread. It's always hardest to proof
something that you yourself have written. You're too close to it. A
second set of eyes helps.
4. Hire a professional proofreader if you know that grammar and
punctuation are not your strong suits. Why risk losing business?
5. Correct errors ASAP. If you or someone else finds an error after your
text has been released, send out a corrected version immediately.
