Incredible Proofreading Techniques

Correctness Matters

Because your prose may be unreadable without it --
A great many readers regard technical errors as an inattention to detail that also signals sloppiness at more important levels of thinking.
If you produce writing that contains such errors, you risk not only distracting readers from your message but also undermining your authority to deliver the message in the first place.
