Grammar girl here.

Today's topic is proofreading.

Here's a question from Karin that's pertinent to a news story that came out yesterday.

I have always had the problem of with my writing, I forget the word though, I forget to put

an e-v on the end of a word and it's not because I don't know to do it but as I type

I just seem to forget to put that there.

I continue to read over it, I don't find anything but this has come back to bite me a couple

times.

So I'm wondering if you have any helpful suggestions that you might be able to provide me for how

I could improve my writing skills.

So when I'm actually typing something when I go back and reread it that if I do forget

the words or something that I actually find it, it's always hard to go back and proof

your own writing and especially with today's technology age when you just do not e-mails

rapidly with someone who responds back, I wonder if there's a way or something that you do

in particular that helps you with that function.

While Karin, the Bank of Kazakhstan is probably wondering the same thing because Reuters and

the BBC are reporting that someone at the institution misspelled the word bank on its

newly released notes and they were printed and entered into circulation so they have

a big embarrassing proofreading problem.

Before we go any further, I do have some tips but I also have to say that I feel like

a fraud for covering this topic because I make as many errors as everyone else and sometimes

typos slip through.
