Spell-Check

Before you put your writing out For other folks to read, There’s one small tidbit of advice You really ought to heed. Just double-check your spelling And use grammar-check as well, For glaring errors will distract And possibly, repel. Some typos may just slip right through But that is no excuse. What’s on the page or screen should be The best you can produce. Some culprits like apostrophes, If placed where they don’t go, Will jump out like neon signs To sharper readers in the know. Put your very best foot forward. Make sure every word’s correct, So the readers will not judge you For your lack of intellect.
