Apa Format

I think the two most common mistakes a writer might make would be to have poor grammar and little sentence variety. I find that I am not very good with sentence variety. This is something that should be incorporated into papers you write. Sentence variety also helps to keep the reader interested in the paper. Having poor grammar in any type of writing will definitely make a reader not to even want to read. I find that if I use write point and I also have Microsoft word set up so that it checks all my work as I am typing it and offers suggestions to fix the problems. Write point has helped me to make corrections in my grammar and shown me the correct way to use it. I use this every time I have to write a paper and it has helped me to receive a better grade. One time though I did not use it and I did loose points because of the grammar.

I too have problems with placing commas and semicolons in the correct areas. I found that Microsoft word is helpful in this area. I always read my paper out loud or have another person read it to see if they find anything wrong with. The center for writing excellence is also very helpful. Have you ever tried to set up your Microsoft word to check for spelling errors and to show you were you may need to place semicolons or commas. I have this with mine and it is very helpful.

I have a very bad habit of over using words when I am writing. I find I also can repeat myself sometimes when I write. What I do is I have someone else read what I have written and ask them to tell me what they think. This helps a lot, because I can read it may not even see anything wrong with the paper but they will. I also use write point to help fix grammar and spelling errors. Have you ever tried having another person read over a paper you have written?
