Whether you’re publishing a blog, submitting a research paper, or even just writing an important email, there are a few techniques you can use to make sure it’s error-free:
Take a break: Set your work aside for at least a few hours so that you can look at it with fresh eyes.
Proofread a printout: Staring at a screen for too long can cause fatigue – sit down with a pen and paper to check the final version.
Use digital shortcuts: Take note of any recurring mistakes (for example, misspelling a particular word, switching between US and UK English, or inconsistently capitalizing a term), and use Find and Replace to fix it throughout the document.
If you want to be confident that an important text is error-free, it might be worth choosing a professional proofreading service instead.
