The Importance of Correctness

This seems like a really good guide for writing papers and actually seems like something I might use in the future. When I was in High School (just kidding) :-), the English teachers put together a reading and writing resource handbook that had a lot of this same information in it but it only focused on teaching how to write MLA style papers. This is full or a lot more information and it will be useful for writing papers using other styles. I really liked; "A word about Correctness" on page two because I felt that it related to the set of articles I read for the Inquiry into Writing project. I think it is important to worry about errors after you have written your papers because otherwise you get distracted while you are writing. It is just sometimes hard to remember to go back and proof your work, especially when you are in a hurry. Correctness really does matter when someone is reading your piece. I know that if I am reading somebodies paper and there are a lot of errors I tend to get bored with what I am reading or irritated because I feel like some of the mistakes are aviodalbe if people payed better attention or went back and proof read.
