| Building a well-written, and thus well-received, document doesn't happen instantly; it's a process of thinking, organizing, writing, and maybe most importantly, rewriting. Before you write, you must clearly understand the point of your paper, plan (either in your head or in a written outline) what you want to say, and begin to organize your ideas. To effectively edit a document or online content requires a comprehensive proofreading checklist: •Typographical Errors •Grammatical Mistakes •Run-On Sentences •Punctuation & Quotation Marks •Subject-Verb Disagreements •Sentence Fragments and Lengths •Spelling •Apostrophes •Comma Usage and Splices •Capitalization •Tenses •Structure and Theme •Organization •Audience Appropriateness |
