Proofread

I recently passed on a piece of knowledge that I was given by a previous boss. I was a young eager thing with no real mind of what I was doing. I would throw a document together and punt it out to the world without so much as a second thought, not advisable when you are a Technical Author. Nevertheless it was my first real job and I really wasn’t THAT sure what I was doing (still not that sure now).

Anyway, I came across a website tonight, read through it’s blog page and thought to myself “That person could do with that piece of advice”. So here it is:

Simple, huh. Then why doesn’t this bloke do it? The man’s an idiot, obviously.
