I don’t know how many times I read a report and within the first couple of paragraphs the errors start showing up. It becomes an effort just to atempt to read the typed words of the author. It’s fine when an author just needs to get it out of their head, down and saved. But, before you go further with it, reread it yourself. This simple easy step is really being overlooked. It’s your work and a direct reflection of you.

When the reader encounters words strung together in to sentences that can’t easily be read the effort outweighs the information. In other words, they have to reread sentences that are either missing words, using incorrect words, or repeated words that should not be repeated just to try and figure out what the writer is trying to convey. When the reading becomes difficult the reader quits. It’s just not worth the time required to read poor quality.

You no what I meen. Ho difcult would it be fro some one two quit simple simply corret the poorer spelling wiht the correct spelling of the word.

Imagine attaching your name to that as the author. Your credibility is at stake. Do you honestly feel that someone who could have paid for such poor quality would actually want to do business with you? Form my point of view, if the author can’t find the time to proof read their work then why would I want to invest in time in them?

Now maybe the words were curned out by spinner software. That would explain the poor quality but, doesn’t justify the fact that the author still did not proof read it before just slapping their name on it and pushing it out the door.

So in closing, Please proof read your work or at the very least get someone qualified to do it for you. Trust me, you’ll be thankful you did.
