lambservant - thanks for your comment. Typos seem to be inevitable so hunting over and editing a piece of writing, no matter what it is, is incredibly important. And yes it really is a course of action. Occasionally we never even see our personal typos when they are appropriate beneath our noses. Obtaining a person else look over our operate can be useful in obtaining those omitted typos.

In some cases when I appear more than a manuscript, or a prose piece of writing I don't know when to stop searching for typos... When is it time to say 'enough. no much more typos exist.',

As a poor typist, I have had to study to edit, re-edit, and re-edit once more my perform. Even still, I practically usually have a single little typo that is really hard to detect. It is a superb point to be in a position to go back and right our typos right here on Hubpages. I now have to find out to edit my comments and forum posts. Ah properly, it is constantly a course of action.

Superior hub. Thanks.

Obtaining a typo or two in our writing is not that undesirable. We are human right after all and from time to time never see our own typos even when they are correct in front of us.

Getting a piece of writing with a single typo following another is careless and not only lessens the top quality of the writing but also puts the writer in a negative light.

Writing really should be checked and re-checked many instances to make sure it is typo absolutely free.

I've normally been excellent at spelling but I nonetheless come across this hub fascinating and informative. All languages have their "quirks" and English is no exception. I wish much more people today would check their spelling prior to posting poems and so on. Thank you, Lena.

Ah yes... The incorrect use of homonyms are the bane of my existence as a copy editor. Going to a restaurant and seeing misspelled words on menus tends to make me sad :(

KoffeeKlatch Gals - Thanks for the feedback. I consider even the greatest of writers can make errors without having realizing they are even creating them. And misspelling words - we all do it occasionally. Even applying a spell checker does not often assist. For example, in Microsoft Word if we write 'form' rather of 'from' it will not catch the error due to the fact 'form' is spelled correctly. Tends to make me wonder why we will need spell checkers at all then,

AuthorLena Kovadlo 7 years ago from Staten Island, NY

Mike - Thanks so considerably for the feedback and for pointing out your/you happen to be combo. It really is certainly a quite frequent error people make and should be on my list. I will go back and add it. Thanks once again.

I identified your hub amusing. I consider you did a great job pinpointing the homonyms that so quite a few misuse and I loved the list of words that lots of of us finish up with when we are careless and in a hurry. It is so true, 1 missing letter can give a whole new meaning to a word. Excellent job.

A valuable and very helpful list. One of the most widespread misused words has to be when "your" is employed in place of "you are". Pretty seasoned writers make this error. Just as many use "effect" and "influence" interchangeably.

Thanks for this, it is most valuable.
