RE: How to write better on Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

It's been shown that if you read aloud the the words you write down, you can catch errors well.

For example, not sure if you noticed but I put an extra "the" above. Most people won't even notice the second "the" because our mind skips it to make sense of the sentence. So yes, reading your work out loud and not just in your head is a full-proof way to find grammar errors.

BTW, I've been super occupied with school lately. Thus, no posts/comments of my own on anyone. Hope you had fun on your trip!

Great tip @cabernet! I want to start to incorporate reading aloud for this reason and also it helps with public speaking. I just read a book on Abraham Lincoln and this is what he always did as his preference but he became one of the best speakers.

My mind did skip the second "the" and I am trying to be vigilant! Lol! This was a fantastic post to add here.

Miss your posts and look forward to them soon @cabernet. Thanks so much as always. My trip was super adventurous and fun!

What are you taking in school? Wish you the very best on your studies...!

Haha phew, I was nervous I'd be the only one to have been fooled by that extra "the".

I'm in my last semester of graduate school and have a super busy final semester. So little time to be active on Steem with classes, work, and gym haha

Sounds like you are killing it though. Keep it up! Look forward to seeing you here more when your schedule clears up :)

Have a great day!

great tip! you got me with that extra "the"

Good one @cabernet, I missed the second "the" 😃
