Ode to a spelling checker
(or the fallibility of technology)
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye kin put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Why use an editor's skills? |
- An editor can help improve your writing by reducing wordiness, checking for sexist language, slang, jargon or use of first person, checking that all cited references are included in the reference list and that there are entries for all citations in the text.
- An editor will also help ensure sentences are grammatically correct, meanings are clear, consistent formats apply and there is visual consistency. A structural review of the content will assist the logical sequence of material and placement of tables and figures. If your document needs to meet certain word limits or requires set standards for presentation then an editor can ensure that these are met.
- You have done all the hard work researching and writing the paper, using an editor's skills will put the final polish on your work. For those who have English as a second language an editor can enhance your written expression and ensure correct choice of words.
Authenticity of Academic Writing |
Academic writing must be the original work of the author/student/candidate. Most universities require students to sign a statement to this effect and some universities require that students seek their supervisor's approval before using professional editing services. At Academic Editorial Services we aim to enhance the writer's work to present the best possible product, but we do not do major rewriting or research on behalf of clients submitting work for academic awards.
