PROOFING, FORMATTING, AND PRODUCING
This week, I have learned how important is to check the written work done by proofing and formatting, so the message intended by the author can be as clear as the he/she intended.
I posted two paragraphs, which are the following:
"Proofing and formatting are two importante and essential ways a writer can - and must - use in order to have a text written in a clearer way, so the reader can understand, beyond any doubt the message given by the author. From the reader persperctive, is basycally the same dynamic of understanding the message given. The more tools the reader has to understand the text, the better for both writer and reader".
"Grammatical or stylistic issues or mistakes must be avoided, of course. But, once encountered them in a text, the reader must see the broader meaning of the text and try to understand what should had been the correct way to express the message in the text. To break the rules can even be an advantage to the writer and the reader, but only in a context that makes sense, like in a joke, por example, or for stylistc purpose. Other than that, it is better to stick to the rules in order to write - and read - an understandable text".
Responding to some postes, I wrote: "I think the same as they do. In general, this is the message in their texts: he less mistakes done, the better the text to be read. Besides, it's our responsability as human beings to take care and respect language and use it well".
In conclusion, If different readers and writers think of proofing, formatting and producing final pieces of writing in different ways the consequence is a big confusion that will not help get an understandable way of doing the writing material. We need certain rules in order to write better and the readers must apply these rules when they approach a text.
