In yesterday’s post on blogging, one of the tips to creating quality blog content was to always use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.
I can’t emphasize enough how important this practice is. Incorrect spellings, unorganized sentences and improper punctuation all take away from your authority and credibility as a writer and professional speaker. They make you look sloppy and careless. So you should always be sure to proofread your online content before publishing it. And when in doubt, get a friend, family member or colleague to give your work a second read. Clean, clear and concise writing will always add an air of intelligence, experience and professionalism to your writing.
I recently came across a great Copyblogger infographic on this very topic, titled “15 Grammar Goofs That Make You Look Silly.” It outlines 15 of the most common – and most easy to fix – grammar gaffes. It’s a great reference to have handy anytime you sit down to write.
