Gosh, no matter how careful you are in editing your blog posts, sometimes there is always an unwanted word or an unwanted letter that should not be there at all. Or maybe in your haste to publish what you have written, you don’t see your own mistakes glaring at you in the face. I think the hardest thing to edit is your own work. I was frowning when I saw these words….when a personS starts….That was the quote I included in my last post. What a shame, personS indeed. It’s the “S” letter and it’s ugly 😦
The proofreader here is not enough because as long as the spelling of the word is correct, even if it was improperly used in a sentence you’ll still get to see “no writing errors were found”.
This reminds me of the late Inday Badiday’s tv program Careful, Careful.
Even seasoned authors have lapses too in their writings. I see those words especially in e-books. Those memes on Facebook, they make my head ache just reading those things on my news feed every day, that is why I don’t allow others to post on my wall. No one is allowed to automatically post things on my timeline, I review all tags before I add them up.
How do you use “who” and “that” in your sentence?

With the amount of writing you do Arlene, mistakes are inevitable. I have seen some glaring errors in my own posts, even after two or three proof-reads. As someone else remarked, at least we can edit them. Best not to worry too much I think.
Best wishes from England, Pete.

That’s the funny side of it Pete because I also proofread and edit my posts but sometimes something escapes my eyes and i only see it when I have already published it. Thanks again 🙂

I never proofread. For me, as long as I’m able to convey my thoughts, and readers are able to understand them, Im satisfied. Relax, Ma’m. ^_^

I sometimes go back and correct my work after a few days. As you said it is hard to edit yourself and there are times when you don’t notice a mistake. I make mistakes all the time. Esp. that English is not our native language.

Ako rin Lou, I am sure it happens to all of us. We always presume kasi tama yung ginawa natin. Mas mahirap ang mag blog in Tagalog Lou kasi puro vowels di ba? Kaya nga I admire those people who could write in Tagalog very well.
