WordsRU - help to correct your spelling

"I, myself, was always recognized . . . as the "slow one" in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me. My letters were without originality. I was . . . an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day."

- Agatha Christie

 

 

Correct Spelling — is it important?

 

There are many who would say no; spelling does not matter. Help is readily available with the spelling checker, the spell-check, the autocheck and a multitude of other spelling check options that attempt to ensure correct, in-context spelling, but none of these options is a worthwhile substitute for a knowledge of basic English usage, including spelling, that is the hallmark of any individual who wishes to be known as a writer. 

 

WordsRU’s team of academically qualified professional editors and proofreaders say yes, spelling does matter. In many instances, unless there is a specific learning disability or a disorder such as dyslexia then bad spelling is often no more than a sloppy approach to writing that can be overcome by observing the basic rules of English usage or even a simple review of one’s written documents.  For those who prefer the surety and confidence that comes from having a professional  editor or proofreader do this for them, WordsRU’s editorial service offers assistance with spelling, punctuation help, grammar check and English usage generally as well as ensuring your documents are free from typographical errors.

Although some spelling errors are relatively insignificant in the overall context of a document, others may appear minor but can actually change the meaning of what you are saying. “Over there” and “it was their turn” have completely different meanings. To use “peek” instead of “pique” when you intend to convey petulance or irritation could well make your serious discussion laughable.    

 

WordsRU’s professional editors and proofreaders recognize the important of spelling checks and spelling that is appropriate to your readers. Your documents can be edited to American, British, Canadian or Australian English. Irrespective of whether it is a business manual, scientific report, children’s story, thesis, essay or a cookbook, writers who are sensitive to their readership will use correct spelling that is suitable for your location. WordsRU’s professional online service will make doubly sure that you have not only the right word, but the right form of spelling for that word to suit your readers.
