Hasn’t technology moved us past all of this?
Why bother? Nobody cares about that kind of accuracy.
This might be one you’ve heard before. I’m already guessing that you know that it’s not a true statement. That’s why you’re here.
Honestly, though, there really are some people who don’t care if you dot your i’s and cross your t’s. But those individuals are very likely not your intended audience. And if your reader or potential client believes that you are oblivious to the details, you’ve already lost their trust. That’s no way to begin a relationship!
Precision in written communication is still valued by the majority. It’s just a natural part of a literate society. And this kind of accuracy is absolutely vital when it comes to certain aspects of life. Take a look at the examples to the right. These are real mistakes made by real people, and each one has consequences.
Where It Counts
Academics and Business
It goes without saying that your literature professor expects you to adhere to the required format. But what about beyond the classroom? Does your cover letter convey that you definitely led the team to a higher profit margin, or did you do so defiantly? Did you work as the division manager or the division manger? Don’t let errors cost you a job opportunity or a better grade.
Finance
Would you rather pay $10.00 or $100.0 for your movie ticket? Would you rather sell that antique model train engine for $1200. or $12.00? Whether it’s your personal budget or the corporate quarterly report, misplaced punctuation can cost money. Just ask the Mariner 1 project team.
Law
Did you insure or ensure that the client was within their rights? Does the signed contract stipulate that ABC Inc. is or is not responsible for the international shipping costs? Remember that contracts are legally binding as written, inaccuracies included. A change requires a new contract, and that means more time, money, and inconvenience.
Medicine
Drug names, dosing instructions, and insurance submissions are just a few of the areas that require accuracy. Was it two mL, once a day or two mL, one a day? Our health is certainly not the place to get sloppy with the details.
The Project Process
Contact Me
Reach out and let me know what you need. No project is too small. We will talk specifics tailored to your project. If I need a sample of the work, I’ll request one so that I understand the scope of what you are looking to accomplish.
My Job
We’ll make the details official and schedule a date for completion. I will begin work on your scheduled project using track changes. On or before the completion date, the document(s) will be returned to you with my suggestions.
Your Job
You decide to accept any or all of the changes that I have noted. Each change is completely up to you. Then you tell your printer to get the presses rolling. It’s that simple!
