Help me proofread this please

[Frackal]

This must be 100% perfect grammatically for my class.... no need to comment on the actual ideas... It seems perfect from my point of view but I'd like to be sure:


------



Precision:


Spelling, grammatical and accuracy errors caused problems for all 3 of our interviewees. Proofreading the piece of writing yourself, along with another capable person can help prevent these types of mistakes.



Clarity:


A clearly composed written piece, trimmed of any unnecessary verbal clutter, can help to insure the best chance for accurate interpretation by the audience.



Efficacy:

The written item accomplishes what the author intends. A review by one or more members of the intended audience can give useful feedback as to how well the purpose of the piece of writing has been communicated.

Thanks all!

I think you need another comma after "person."

 

[Devastation]

insure should be ensure, i think

Yeah. That's all like totally an appositive and stuff.

And Insure can be spelled either Insure or Ensure. Or Asswatermelon

 

[Imnotdutch]

[slobberknocker]

Thanks all!

1st paragraph: "three" not "3" and add the second comma

2nd: I'd use "ensure"

3rd: The second sentence is grammatically ok, but awkward.

A review by one or more members of the intended audience can provide useful feedback as to how well the author (has) communicated his or her purpose.

 

[Devastation]

yes type out the word 3 into three

 

[Frackal]

Thanks guys

I'll fix all mentioned...anyone know the rule for 'insure' and 'ensure?' I have no clue.

They are almost interchangeable. Only the most hardass English prof will split hairs about them.

"Insure" implies "insurance." "Ensure" is closer to "make sure."

Try...

The written item accomplishes the author's intent. An Asswatermelon can review the piece and offer feeback on the effectiveness of it's content and construction.
