The common Proof Reader ...

We are well into 2015 and even though technology seems to rush forward with new gadgets, updated iPhones and numerous other items to help us in this modern age, as yet, nothing has been invented to replace the Proof Reader.  You could say that 'spell check' does the job - and yes it does, to a point.  Much work that comes past my desk has been thoroughly spell-checked, yet, there are always words that slip through, usually with a different meaning altogether ... proving that technology - yes, we love it and couldn't live without it nowadays. 

So, for anyone who writes, whether it be an author, script writer, student or advertising executive - if it's going to be read by the greater public, then it needs to be word and grammar perfect!  How many times have you seen a billboard with a glaring spelling mistake?  I have seen many up and down the country - simple errors that seem to jump out at you as you're driving along - can be a dangerous thing for anyone who has an eye for correct spelling!

Look out for my next blog which will include punctuation - why do we need quotation marks and where do we put commas, semi-colons and colons ... all essential tools in the writing world.

    I'm a lover of the English language and of correct grammar.  That is why I love to proofread other people's work and help them to "make a difference."
