I completed a Proofreading Skills course at Fox Valley Technical College yesterday. It was enjoyable and beneficial. It was also intense. When I drove home yesterday, I spent my time mentally punctuating sentences. (Yes, I know, I’m a nerd!)
Continuing education and self-improvement are very important to me. The English language is ever changing and the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. I’m motivated to look at my writing projects with a fresh set of eyes now. There is always more to learn and higher standards to be held to.
A few things that I think we can all do to improve our writing:
• Dust off the dictionary
• Get a reference manual
• Have someone else proofread your work
• Appreciate the flexibility of English “rules”
