Proofreading matters! Why? Because we don’t want to give anyone an excuse to criticise our work and dismiss it as sloppy, unprofessional or not thought through.
A document littered with errors means that not only does the reader think the author doesn’t care too much about the subject, but the more errors they spot the more the author’s credibility is eroded and the less they will trust the document as a whole. This is especially true when the message you are trying to send is controversial or unwelcome in some way.
Here are some tips to make sure the documents you produce are not peppered with too many glaring errors.
