Your checklist for action
● ● Understand that mistakes can and do happen.
● ● Make sure you take steps to minimize this, such as running
spellcheck and grammar check in the right variety of English.
● ● Realize mistakes aren’t just about spelling and grammar. They can
also be when words are left out, when sentences confuse, or facts
are presented in a disorderly way that might even distort the
correct message.
● ● Understand the longer-term impact mistakes may have (and
how these can in turn impact on you and your company).
Highlight this to others.
● ● Do an overall check of your writing before you issue it.
● ● If you are not sure of something, ask for help from someone
who will know.
