Dr. Dato’s Brief:

This kind of posts seems to be coming up time and time again emphasizing the importance of proper grammar, spelling errors, use of abbreviations and things like that.

If you have read some of my previous posts not directly related to this subject, you will see that the improper usage of the English language can have a negative effect on the part of the reader. Here are my tips for improving in this area where you can write great profiles and maintaining good communication that will have more appeal with your fellow readers. We all want this because its going to get us more dates!

Firstly, it is important to understand that no one has perfect command of the English language with perfect grammar and mistakes are made all the time. In fact, I make the common mistakes such as typing ‘recepient’ instead of the correct spelling ‘recipient’.

The good thing about our online browsers today is that it has a built-in spell detector which you may have noticed when you type a word, it underlines it in red if it has detected a spelling error in that word. I can see the word above ‘recepient’ appearing with a red underline as I write this post in Wordpress. You should pay attention to this and correct it right away, especially if it looks blatant. If you are unable to find the correctly spelt word, just go to Google and copy that word and Google will give you suggestions, its that easy!

However, I noticed that sometimes the built-in spell checkers for browsers does not detect errors such as the case here when I misspelt ‘maintaining’ with ‘maintaing’ which was not detected by a red underline. When I scanned back to that sentence, that is how I spotted it.

The best way to ensure complete accuracy of your writing is to feed it through a dedicated word processor such as MS Word and even some of the online applications such as Google word document. By the way, I am not trying to advocate Google’s products or services, I just think that they have very good tools available to the average Joe like you and me and it is freely available.

Here is another tip that will definitely improve your writing a great deal and this is to write and write about anything that interests you. In this way, you will get used to thinking about the proper structuring of sentences, use of words, typo errors and they instinctively improve your writing style over time.

good writing style gives a better impression to the reader
