Do the spell-check double check

6/25/2020

 
illustrated their, they're, and there
Spelling is complicated ... and easier than ever. Spell-check is a great tool, even if it's always correcting me, fixing my mistakes, and schooling me on the proper spelling of this word ... and that one.

But, despite its know-all application, I know it's not perfect.

Do the spell-check double check
Spell-check catches a lot, but a regular check on spell-check is good practice.

Proofread your writing
Your book, ebooks, and essays, all need proofing before being shared. Give your writing (no matter the format) a good review; eyeballs on each and every word.

Read your writing out loud
When you've got your final draft, read your writing out loud. It's one of the best ways to catch awkward phrases and confusing sentences.


This simple graphic was designed to help you visualize three words that spell-check, and your memory bank, might struggle with: their, they're, and there.

If you need help with words, let's exchange a few. Maybe I can help.

I write words, edit words, and arrange words, online and on paper. Helping you look like the professional you are.

p.s. I did the spell-check double check on this email and my fingers are crossed I didn't miss anything. But let me know if I did.


I'm voting today. Here's why.

What would it be like if we couldn't vote?

That's what I think about on election day. I think about it because voter turnout can be dismal.

I think about it because there are four amendments to the Constitution related to voting rights. Amendments that give people who were denied the right to vote their voting rights. People like Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton had had enough.

It was unacceptable that as a woman, she was not allowed to vote. For more than 50 years, she fought for the right to cast a ballot. And she died nearly two decades before the 19th Amendment would pass. That's 70 years.

It took far too long.

Today I will vote. I will vote for Elizabeth Cady Stanton and all the women who fought alongside her. And I will vote for those who fought for the 15th Amendment, the 24th Amendment, and the Voting Rights Act.

I will vote because I can.


One person, one vote. It matters, and it counts.

I created this infographic to inspire more people to vote on election day.
