The Impotence of Proofreading by Daniel Scocco
“Its a fact that a spell checker will not catch all the mistakes on your text. More specifically, it will not catch misspellings that form other valid words. So how do you solve this problem? Proofreading, of coarse! Just read again through you’re text trying to spot words that don’t fit, and make sure to not loose the focus while you do it. Proofreading is sometimes more important then using the spell checker itself. You should proofread virtually any written piece, from emails to blog posts. Proofread your homework as well, since you don’t want to drive the principle of your school crazy.Let’s be honest, misspelled words are defiantly a sign of ignorance. The simple act of proofreading will have a great affect on the quality of your material, and I am sure that you’ll earn more complements from people. Their you go my friend, and take this advice seriously. After all, you don’t want to look dumb in front of the general pubic!”
Not my own words, but still a good example of the need of proofreading.
