If you want to get anywhere, you have to write with an air of professionalism. Even if you're not a great writer, looking over an article once or twice can fix many mistakes! And thanks Mark for the excellent example, LOL. Sadly, that's exactly how some people are!

Occasional mistakes happen, and are no big deal. Sometimes with just the right mistake, in just the right spot, they can even be pretty funny.

I don't think I am the only one either. It's sloppy, and somewhat disrespectful to the readers. How can anyone take a blogger seriously if he or she doesn't even care enough to write properly. Isn't that what twitter and facebook are for?

Before publishing proofreading is must. Even small mistakes irritate the readers. But so far I have not come across any blog with such mistakes and I have not unsubscribed any blog. <em>OldSailor's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MarineBuzz/~3/298935058/' rel="nofollow">View Live Piracy Map of 2008 from International Maritime Bureau</a></em> I agree.
