*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Making a certain write-up or polishing a content is not really for the writers alone. When checking a content and correcting any mistakes and grammars, the writer usually fails to clean it all off and find it hard to spot any mistakes the writer makes.

This is where a proofreader usually comes in. The duty of a proofreader is ensure that the message of a certain writing material is clear and can communicate to the one who is reading it.

It can be any writing material such as articles, memos research paper and other documents that requires general writing attention in order to provide quality outcome and to pass the message directly to the one reading it.

That is why, before you are going to submit your writing composition, be sure to do the final step in writing and that is to effectively proofread your work. basically, proofreading锟絪 main function is to read your writing to make sure if it is really a good one and to determine how much you are going to polish it off.

Proofreading duties are easy for some people who are aware about the ways on how to do it but generally, it really requires most of your attention and to carefully do the job without any signs of ignorance.

Always make sure that the message flows from the title of your writing, down to your first paragraph until your content ends. If not, then prepare to do the working.

Need to proofread a document? There are four ways you can go about it, each one with their own pros and cons.

1.Check it manually yourself. If you锟絩e going to check your work this way, use a proofreading checklist to tick off all the items you锟絩e going to check for. You can find recommended checklists from many writing books and websites. We锟絛 suggest taking one of those and adding your own items, particularly those that you find yourself frequently erring on.

2. Have a friend check. It锟絪 tough to evaluate your own work for correctness. Most of the time, you锟絩e emotionally in vested in it and that makes being objective damn near impossible. Having a friend check, especially one who锟絪 experienced in proofreading, should prove a much better choice.

3. Use an automated grammar software. It锟絪 2010. We锟絭e got software for everything, including proofreading. You can cut the time you spend on the activity considerably by simply using a writing checker software. Believe me when I say the results of these modern proofreading tools are highly impressive.

4. Use an automated grammar checker first, followed by manual check later. If you锟絩e one of those who remain unimpressed with software-based solutions to something that used to require so much personal attention as proofreading, you can use the software and follow it up with a manual checking later. At worst, you锟絣l confirm your suspicions about grammar software not being up to par. In some cases, you may end up surprising yourself with the results. Either way, you锟絣l save yourself plenty of time.
