Without Proofreading You Do Not Know If Everything Makes Sense

By Peter Hughes


When you spend your time writing and it is the reason you can go to the bank with something in your hand, you must be able to make yourself understandable. This is by knowing what you are writing about, however, it also means doing a couple of other activities to accomplish this. Those would be editing and proofreading your material for understand ability.

The first task is editing and it concerns the actual content of the piece. To edit means to check all of the facts you wish to present. It is the verification of those facts that hold your piece together and must be looked at by you or someone else before it is published. The math is checked and all conclusions must be examined to determine whether they hold up.

When the activity, known to some as proofing, is undertaken it is simply concerned with the mechanical construction of the content. Editing deals with what is said and proofing is concerned with how it is said. Punctuation is looked at as are all commas, colons, semicolons and other devices are verified as being used properly.

The editing that is done is crucial as you wish to sound and write with authority. The proofing process is absolutely necessary because you wish to sound like you know what you are saying is accurate. There is no way that you should try to get anyone to believe what you say unless you are, or have someone else, doing both of these things.

Commas are devices that are overused in most cases and from most writers, at least in the first draft of many articles. The use of the word however can become tiring if not checked, after the fact, and corrected and this is what proofing does. Many writers will often capitalize improperly and this can be caught when proofing the document.

The grammar rules that govern all civilized written material are not always followed to the letter by writers. This is not to call them lazy, but, occasionally, unaware what they are doing in this area. Many of them use an outside proofing service that takes care of these things for them and takes that first draft and transforms it into something of which to be proud.

As you may be involved in the writing industry or are simply trying to put together some copy for the promotion of a product or service, you need authoritative copy. You may need, if you are unsure of the appropriate grammar rules, an expert to take a look and help you out in this regard. Professional editors and proofing companies exist all over the Internet for your use.

The words and concepts you are able to write down are, indeed, your product. You know that, in order to impress your clients or your readers, they must be carefully considered and rendered in appropriate ways. This is why you are used and this is why you must use everything, and everyone, that can assist you to do this. If it does not make sense it should not be written or offered.
