Ah, proofreading. It’s one of htose things that your schoolteacher always nagged you about. What’ sthe point? That’s the bottom line.

If you was out of school bye now, you may realizes that proofreading may stand between you being taken seriously and being taken for a fool. Not only does lousy spelling make your readers work harder (and what’s the good of that?), but it also may change your meaning. Don’t forgot grammar, either.

Same with punctuaiotn. Consider the ever popular puncutation example,  <em>Woman without a man is nothing</em>.  The options:
<ul>
<li>Woman, without her man, is nothing.</li>
<li>Woman: without her, man is nothing.</li>
</ul>
And don’t forget homophones. What’s a person to due?
