Spelling and Grammar
I may be guilty of spelling and syntax errors at times, (probably going to make some in this post), but I do make the effort to catch and correct them before I publish my pages. I have been taking a look at other WA member websites (as the lesson suggests), to leave comments and positive reinforcement to my fellow members. Unfortunately I have noticed a lot of spelling and grammar errors. There are tools built into every system and dictionaries are easy to connect to online...I have mine open at the bottom of my screen whenever I write anything. Make the effort and take the extra time to check your writing or ask a friend or someone else to check it for errors before you put it online. Someone reading a website full of spelling and grammar errors is going to have a hard time taking you and your advise seriously and that is going to hurt your results.
Now excuse me while I go read all of my pages again to make sure I'm not guilty of this myself.
Happy writing my friends :)

BTW I did go back into my pages to double check them and even with the due diligence I expect from myself I found errors. From now on I'm going to wait...at least a few hours, and reread what I wrote with fresh eyes before I post. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Happy writing :)
This is so true. Even for the expert speller can make mistakes. More so when an idea hits and they are typing so fast their fingers can't keep the pace, which includes myself. Thanks for the tip!
This is my personal pet peeve. There's a national advertisement running on television right now that has a misspelled word in it, and I cringe every time I see it. It's so easy to get right.
