Are you the punctuation police? A grammar artist? A spellot? A grammando?
One paragraph. Sixty words. How many errors do you count? Hint: There are more than 5 and fewer than 20.
How good are you at spotting errors? Test yourself. Can you find all the errors in the text below?
Incorrect capitalizations, wrong words, punctuation mitsakes, spelling errors, and typo’s are often easier to spot in other peoples’ writing then in our own. Technology can be helpful, but a over reliance on on it can affect some pretty serious proofreading disasters? Sometimes these “fails” are funny, but were usually left shaking are heads and wondering “How did noone notice that”?
For a few, this will be a cakewalk. But (I’m guessing) most of you find it a bit of a challenge.
