Writing well is more than just getting words onto the page – you also need to check the correct words and spelling\u00a0are there to be read.<\/p>\n
I was looking at a website the other day and I’m sure they didn’t proof read it – maybe they didn’t actually read it at all once it was written. On their contact page it states:<\/p>\n
Submit your answers and reply or call at no time.<\/span><\/p>\n The bit that jumped out at me was ‘call at no time’ – not exactly a welcoming message for a business! The mistake of ‘no’ instead of ‘any’ is simple to make but has a big impact on the final meaning of your words.<\/p>\n Of course, ‘submit your answers and reply’ doesn’t make sense either. Reading over their work (or getting someone else to read it for them) could have ended with webcopy that made sense.<\/p>\n So always read through and check your writing says what you wanted it to say, without missing words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Writing well is more than just getting words onto the page – you also need to check the correct words and spelling\u00a0are there to be read.
