What’s Wrong With Proofreading?

Written by Elaine Currie, BA (Hons)


More Tips For New Writers (Part III)

Writing for your home based business just as important as any other kind of business writing. When you have an online business, you will be judged byrepparttar quality of your emails, advertisements, articles etc as well as byrepparttar 100346 textual content of your website.

I recently read an article in whichrepparttar 100347 author encouraged people to write articles in order to promote their home based internet business. The writer of this article was ofrepparttar 100348 opinion that punctuation, spelling etc, were not particularly important. His advice was to give your article a quick once-over with your PC’s spellchecker and then submit it without spending too much time on it or worrying unduly aboutrepparttar 100349 finer details. To him,repparttar 100350 important thing was that you should write whether or not you had reachedrepparttar 100351 appropriate educational standard to be able to write correctly.

In an effort to keep up with modern trends, I considered this premise and attempted to embrace it. Maybe I am totally old-fashioned but, I couldn’t do it. I simply cannot accept this idea that we should treat business writing as a casual pastime, where articles are to be carelessly and quickly executed because they are of limited importance. Of course I believe that people should be free to express themselves in writing even if they lack formal education but I don’t believe we are helping them or ourselves by lowering our standards.

Although I applaud him for encouraging people to write, I simply cannot agree with this author’s notion that correct grammar and punctuation are unimportant. Even slightly faulty grammar can render a written work incomprehensible. The phrase "Content is king" is overused nowadays. Although content is often high in a list of important elements, I cannot agree that content alone will make up for poor craftsmanship when it comes to writing. Offering slapdash work is an insult torepparttar 100352 reader;repparttar 100353 implication is thatrepparttar 100354 reader either will not know any better, or is not sufficiently important to bother about. I would like to make it clear that I am not referring torepparttar 100355 unfortunate mistake that slips throughrepparttar 100356 proofreading net. There is nobody on this planet who has never made a mistake. Publishing an error takes a bit of living down butrepparttar 100357 only sure way of avoiding mistakes is by doing absolutely nothing. The thing that offends me isrepparttar 100358 "doesn’t matter", "It’ll do" sloppy attitude.
