Proofreading...Do You Know the Difference Between the Uses for Accept and Except?

Among the other talents of our staff, another service we offer it to proofread your documents. After writing your document it is hard to look at it from a critical view so we are available to help you with proofreading.

We will check for correct grammar and vocabulary use, sentence and paragraph structure, correct citations and website addresses, and the overall “look” of the document to make sure white space is used correctly. We take the worrying out of whether to use accept or except. We use the comments feature in Microsoft Word so that while we are correcting any errors we can also make suggestions to you for adding in other information needed to make the document more cohesive.

Some helpful writing tools that you should have available when writing your document are: a dictionary, thesaurus, Internet (for research on the topic) and a grammar reference manual. All of these are available on either the Internet, through a word processing program such as MS Word, or a hard copy.
