Document Summary

Express ideas clearly in the least possible words: to reduce wordiness . > replace multiple words with a single word. Eliminate fillers & information that is not helpful. > when this is included, you waste your time as you compose the message. > also, wasting the readers time as they read it. > redundancies = the unnecessary repetition of an idea: how to check for errors (systematically) > just one time proofreading means you will most likely not find them all. > proofread for one particular issue one at a time. > writers repeat the same kinds of errors based on their writing style. > review your graded writing to see what you can improve on. > put some time between your composing and evaluating stages. > writers quickly draft something up and immediately try to proofread i. > taking even a 5 minute break to clear up thoughts can let you proofread with a better objective and fresh perspective.
