December 8, 2006, Newsletter Issue #139: Avoiding You/Your Errors

Tip of the Week

This is one of the most common proofreading errors. It is so easy to miss this in, either in your own work or in someone elseīs. Make a special point of stopping on each "you" or "your" and making sure the correct one is used. An easy way to do this is to use your word processorīs "search" feature and search for every "you" use. (If you donīt add a space at the end, itīll also stop on "your.") Then you can make a point of reading each useage.
