Check for Grammar Mistakes Before You Send that Document!
Posted on October 15, 2008
“Check Grammar Mistakes.” The nun who taught us grammar lessons at school would bellow this command at us as we toiled through grammar lessons and I can remember those words as if it were yesterday.
But as with many things we learn at school, we forget them. Unfortunately, if writing is part of your business communications then you better get used to doing a check for grammar mistakes, because it’s been estimated that over 65% of business communications - letters, contracts, emails - have grammar mistakes in them.
How important is good writing? Try this simple exercise. For the next few days, watch how you react when you come across a piece of correspondence in which you find a spelling or grammar mistake. Thought the writer was sloppy, didn’t you!
So how do you make sure that doesn’t happen to you? You can try and re-learn grammar but let’s face it, that’s not too appealing. One method that’s gaining in popularity is using grammar checker software to check for grammar mistakes.
Software is now being built with artificial intelligence that identifies common grammar errors and fixes them on the spot.
One of the best is WhiteSmoke spelling and grammar checker. It will scan your documents as you write and will also check emails fro grammar mistakes. WhiteSmoke also recommends words that enhance your writing giving your writing a professional touch.
