If anyone gets it, its me – your buzy running a bizness, chasing after kids or pets or foot message fetish, keeping up with your hose or apartment, bills, chores, errand, the list never ends.
You LOVED that run-on sentence filled with spelling and grammatical errors, didn’t you?
Take a guess what is irksome and creates a classic Pavlovian knee-jerk reaction. You got it: spelling/grammar mistakes, rambling too much, formatting and the word “LOVE” to describe a business-related emotion. How can you expect to be taken seriously when you absolutely LOVE everything, your writing is atrocious, and you fly by the seat of your pants?
For the record, “your” does not mean the same as “you’re” and should not be used interchangeably.
To be taken seriously as a business professional, you need to pay attention to detail. Understandably, the odd email or note may get sent out with a few spelling errors or grammatical fallacies. However, when your correspondence becomes consistently erroneous it can cost you your ability to communicate effectively. Take a moment and proofread your writing before sending it to someone. There are countless apps to help you with this, although nothing beats a human editor.
Frankly, when I receive correspondence laden with spelling and grammatical errors the first thing that comes to my mind is that this person was too “busy” or too “lazy” to take the time to write to me with clear, organized thoughts. In turn, I automatically do not give that person as much attention as I do someone who sent me a thoughtful, coherent, and detailed message. We can help you with proofreading, copy editing, content writing and more – without the literacy failures.
