Common errors made in Documents

While writing a professional document, the employee should pay a deep attention to the quality of language used. Big grammatical, spelling and structural mistakes are not tolerated within the workplace as it effects negatively the image of both the employee and the company. Here is some common errors found on technical documents you must make extra effort to avoid them:

Spelling: everyone of us has his ups and downs with the spelling, for this reason double checking documents for spelling mistakes is necessary as these mistakes are unpredictable. As a solution, using software with spelling check on is highly beneficial and would help making an end to this problem.

Typoos: this is every employee's worst nightmare. Because of the time pressure while creating documents, it is very likely to strike the wrong key while typing on the keyboard without noticing it. As solution, running the spell check detector again is very effective in tackling this errors, so make sure you use it.

Slang/ nontechnical language: when writing an official work document the language used should be suitable for this type of documents. Plenty of people find it difficult to keep their writing on track and refrain from using completely wrong words from slang or local dialects, and sometime less interesting words such as "bad", "a lot", "thing"...etc. To make sure the document is slang/ nontechnical language free, ask for the help of somebody else (preferably someone with superior writing skills) to read your writing and give his/her feedback before submitting it.

Grammar: this one of the biggest pain in the back employees have, also it is not a skill you can completely master over night. Having a good grammar skills can only be obtained from long and extended educational and practical periods. Grammar mistakes can partly be corrected with tyhe help of word processing software such as "Microsoft Word", but again the help from a good writer would be more advantageous.
