It is within my humble yet relentless opinion, that we as a society have an obligation to review what we have written before we send it off in any form.
I have this pet peeve that has been festering for quite a few years, regarding proof reading any material that you have written, before sending it out to the public. Proof read Please.
I always go to bat for technology with a friend of mine. His complaint is that with the abbreviations for text'ing, and IM'ing, society is forgetting how to spell, and speak on a professional level. I say to him. Don't worry mankind won't let that happen. However with each passing day I see more, junk being printed that could not have been proof read, mispelling's, incorrect words used ie: meat instead of meet. Spell check does not catch that sort of thing.
If someone writes something that they have put allot of thought and time into. Is'nt it in there best interest to make sure that what they are writing is spelled correctly, and that the correct word is used.
I think that it makes a difference as a professional REALTOR® (yes you are a professional if you sell full time) that you take the extra few seconds to make sure what you are sending your clients is worthy reading. Not just the content, but the words and the speling in the content.
So join me will you, proof read what you have written and then use your spell check feature to ensure that we are seen as the elite pros of real estate. Happy reading
Rob
