PUNCTUATION
Three simple tests to help eliminate mistakes
When you're typing, it's easy to forget about punctuating lists, bullets and
tables. But a reader's eyes are drawn immediately to these casual errors.
Inconsistent punctuation of lists, bullets and tables is one of the most common
ways of distracting your reader from your message. How long do you think it will
be before errors in presentation start to cost sales and revenue?
The problem is that correcting documents is an arduous process. If you only
have time to fully proofread a text once or twice, then the focus is usually on
structure or on grammar. Checking lists, bullets and tables can become a
luxury. But imagine how much better your documents could look if checking
punctuation were as easy as a spell check.
