Proofreading and Spring Cleaning
Proofreading and fact checking are like spring cleaning. You spring-clean your house, and it’s spick and span. However, your friends arrive and notice corners and crevices that have been missed. No matter how well you write, many still see proofreading as unimportant. If you’ve worked on a document for a long time, spotting mistakes isn’t always possible. Misspelt words, confused meanings and inconsistencies are just some of the errors that can be rectified by a fresh pair of eyes. In fairness, spotting mistakes in your own writing isn’t easy.
Proofreading can eliminate many typographical errors that can change the meaning of a sentence. Misspelt words, confused meanings, and inconsistencies are just some errors a fresh pair of eyes can fix. Spell checkers aren’t very helpful since elementary errors can be missed even when a document is read aloud.
