The Importance of Proofreading

The Importance of Proofreading

By Elton Camp

Many posts that I read
This firm caution need

To write and slap it online
Most often isn’t very fine

For it to be received well
Show that we can spell

Pretentious words eschew
When easier ones will do

Lest the readers have a fit
No words dare we omit

We also need to expect
Errors from auto correct 

Here’s yet another helpful hint
We can “see” what we meant

My work, as an example, take
For I never make a misteak

"Big words" used to "impress" quickly turn me off. Thanks for reading. Elton
