Week 3

WEEK 3: GRAMMER

The 11^th top I would give is to just keep writing, just keep writing, just keep writing, writing, writing.  I have noticed that when I am writing a paper and my brain is slammed and I feel like I can’t write anymore, that the best thing to do is just keep writing.  If I just keep writing everything that is on my mind that by the end even if it doesn’t make sense, I can then go back and read what was on my mind and try to make sense of it.  It is a lot harder when you stop writing and have to go back to it and try to rethink what you are writing about and where you are and what was on your mind.  I also think that after you write everything out and make sense of it all and organize it, you should have friend, family member or colleague read over it.  These people can be honest with you and tell you what they really think. This will help you correct your errors and fix anything that is strange in your writing. Sometimes I cannot see my own mistakes and so it helps to get a few people to look over your work and find the mistakes you missed.

Three errors:

I found a misspelled word and a punctuation error on the registration form for my studio. I give these form out to every single person that enters my studio or emails the studio email address. I couldn’t believe that I never caught these two errors until three years later.  I had never had anyone else read over the registration form and this week I did and I found two errors that were obvious.

I also found an error on a shoe box.  I recently bought a new pair of Nikes and the little white square sticker on the bottom of the box had a misspelled word. It said “siz” instead of “size.” I was surprised because Nike is a huge company and so you would think that mistakes like this wouldn’t happen.

Last, I found an error on a wedding invite that I received a few weeks ago.  It had the address on the invite and it said “further west of Smith’s” and it should have said “farther west of Smith’s.”
