Correctness
You've spent time and energy crafting a piece of writing. And then some rogue typo or
grammatical error undermines all your hard work – making it look slapdash.
In our Correctness course:
We cover three types of punctuation that people can often get wrong:
-
colons
-
semi-colons
-
apostrophes.
We look at:
-
common pairs (and trios) of words that cause confusion, like ‘effect’ and ‘affect’
-
using the right pronouns in the right places – when it’s ‘I’ and when it’s ‘me’.
When your writing’s right, you:
-
show care and credibility: attention to detail signals quality
-
keep readers focused: error-free writing lets your message take centre stage
-
make reading effortless: clean copy means nothing to stumble over, just smooth understanding.
