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.
