Comment on In Spellchecker We Trust… Right? by Published Author

As a published author (by a legit publishing house, not self-published), I copyedited and proofread my own manuscript and was published AS IS, which they have admittedly never done before. I am available for freelance copyediting jobs for a reasonable price.

And you are correct in this article by stating that it is best to put the work away for a day or two — especially if it is your own work — and come back fresh in order to give it a final once-ver. Writers do tend to make their work “their baby”; they become so close to it that it is difficult to see errors. I don’t know why/how I was able to overcome this, but I am good at what I do. You won’t be disappointed. Email me!

You both mean poorly, right? The article contains some incredible mistakes. It takes skill to write something poorly enough to destroy flow completely before the third sentence.
