Some “Goof-Proof” Writing Tips

First impressions are everything right? That’s why there’s nothing worse than making a silly grammar mistake in an email to a potential supporter of your cause.

I found this clever info-graphic called 15 Grammar Goofs That Make You Look Silly from the Copyblogger website which should amuse and perhaps teach us a little something about:

• the difference between “your and you’re”
• the difference between “its and it’s”
• the proper use of an apostrophe
• when to use “affect and effect”
• the difference between “then and than”
• when to use “complement and compliment”
• and how to avoid the dreaded “dangling participle”

and many more!

Hope it helps.
