Ch. 4. Critical Thinking #1, p. 87

Your deadline is due, but your document needs proofreading.  Should you speed the time necessary to proofread and miss the deadline?

If you really care about creating a clear and concise document, you should never wait until the last minute to proofread a document whether it is a long or short document.  When writing a document it is imperative to give yourself a day or so to take the time to proofread your document.  Print a hard copy. By doing this, you’ll have adequate time to carefully go over:
·         Sentences and paragraphs regrouping.
·          Any misspell words
·          Grammar errors, punctuations
·         Communication tone.
E-mail messages require a light proofreading usually on the screen; however, if you print a hard copy, you get a better view of your message writing.  A common excuse for sloppy proofreading is usually lack of time.
