The Spelling and Grammar on your website, this applies to you.

Before adding wording to my site or on my business FB page, I always proof it like 5 times. But I ALWAYS miss something. I can't stand it! I have started having my wife look over it as well, but sometimes things slip :( I think that I know what I mean to say, I read it back to myself how I meant to say it or spell it, thus overlooking it.



Feel free to look over my site. Thank you for your willingness to help out.
 
One tip for trying to find errors..

1. Type all the wording in Pages or Word...spell check and grammar check. Then copy and paste.

2. Print the text. A lot of people can locate mistakes on printed paper, but on a computer screen will look right over the obvious.

3. Read it out loud- you hear how it sounds.

4. This is for only spelling errors: Read the text backwards. Making sense does not matter, but you find misspelled words this way.



it's and its (very common misuse)



it's means "it is". If it sounds weird, go with its.
 
Yeah,,,,I notice spelling and grammar issues without even trying to notice. In my other life I was an editor so It's kind of a natural thing with me. So, of course, no literature that will be read by the public should have (IMO), any of the above mistakes. It's probably not fair but when I see it my brain tends to pause and sets in an perception, good or bad.



Personally, I guess it bugs me.
