Thanks, Imelda. I’m really glad this tip worked for you!

I just used it to read back some content that I wrote last year and caught a mistake.

Thanks for the tip.

Indeed ironic but it also goes to show how most of us manage things like email. (And I put blog comments in the same category.) We tend to be fast and a bit careless. Also, autocorrect is a CURSE. So frequently, it takes accurate information I’ve entered and makes it inaccurate!

This seemed really ironic to me.. you were saying how ‘good’ you were at catching mistakes… and then you said: “every on was wrong”. You needed to proof this!!

Very smart.

Thanks for your rant, Clarke. Nothing better than a worthwhile rant.

Very smart!

I think if you follow a few of the suggestions above you’ll find that you’re able to do a much better job or proofreading your own work. Yes, feel free to share this on your Facebook page.

Many people don’t allow enough time for proofreading and don’t have an “organized” enough process for doing it. You’re quite right that a document that’s well proofread will be much more presentable.

This is a great idea. I’m going to start using it myself!
