Professional Copywriting Service

No machines or computer programs can check grammar properly. Very few humans can actually handle this task; some universities are even teaching students that it is now acceptable to use (what WAS considered) poor grammar in certain instances where the incorrect usage has become more common than the correct usage. Even machine translators rarely output perfect grammar or translations.


I've been using MS Word for grammar checking long documents - but that's all I use it for so I copy/paste and rarely bother to save the file. The last file that I proofed was three pages of text; Word found a hundred typos, spelling errors, and grammatical errors; I found a hundred MORE plus a hundred phrases that should be reworded.

I read and study a lot on the Internet and I rarely continue reading past a third error - even if they are all typos. Typos are fine in forums, chat, and personal emails - but typos and poor grammar are not acceptable on commercial web pages. I tend to disregard what I had read if I leave a page that was written by someone who isn't educated.

If you want your web site to be professional, you need to hire a professional copywriter. First, check it yourself with a regular grammar-checking machine. Then read it yourself and ask peers to read it also. When you are "sure" that it is perfect, pay a PROFESSIONAL copywriter to redline it and ASK in person (or on the phone) why they made their changes - so you can learn from your mistakes.

If it is a commercial web site, you should consider paying a professional marketing consultant to check it because copywriters are typically better at technicalities than they are at sales. I do well with both.
