[stylist] Punctuation and editing

One thing I do to find weird errors is- using the find function in word, I
would look for any occurrence of like a comma and period combo. Or simply
put, search for any sort of punctuation mistake that you want to make sure
"isn't" suppose to be in your manuscript!
And my final run through is using my Braille display. There you can "see it
all.' (Editing by speech alone is very tedious.)

All,
Another strategy I use is to put the work aside overnight. A final
reading early in the morning brings a very fresh outlook to the work. This
is one of the reasons so much of my final works are sent before the sun
rises!
Fraternally yours,
Marion

>>>>>>>>>Hey guys,
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>First, if you can use Braille and have access to either a
>>>>>>>>>refreshable
>>>>>>>>>Braille device or Braille embosser, you can check all the same
>>>>>>>>>spelling,
>>>>>>>>>grammar and structure issues as sighted people. Just a quick
> plug
>>>>>>>>>for
>>>>>>>>>Braille. *smile*
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>If you solely use JAWS to edit, though, it is not always as
>>>>>>>>>difficult as
>>>>>>>>>you might think. It is an adjustment, but it can be done. One
> big
>>>>>>>>>helpful feature of JAWS is that you can turn on a feature that
> will
>>>>>>>>>read
>>>>>>>>>all punctuation including commas and apostrophies. Go to the
> JAWS
>>>>>>>>>window and pull up the option menu, then go to basics, then tab
>>>>>>>>>until
>>>>>>>>>you hear punctuation and select "all punctuation ." The short
> cut
>>>>>>>>>is to
>>>>>>>>>press insert and V which will bring up the verbocity dialogue
> box,
>>>>>>>>>then
>>>>>>>>>it will list different options, press P until you hear
> punctuation,
>>>>>>>>>press space bar to change the punctuation mode. Do this until
> you
>>>>>>>>>hear
>>>>>>>>>"all."
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>By the way, we will have a guest speaker for a monthly meeting
>>>>>>>>>(probably
>>>>>>>>>after the New Year) who will talk about how to use JAWS for
> editing
>>>>>>>>>purposes.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Anyway, hope this helps.

> Jean,
> One very important step in submitting error-free work is to have
> someone
> else give it a critical read. This is something most writers will do,
> whether blind or not. An objective look can pick up spelling errors and
> offer some grammatical input. I have a couple of people in my circle
> with
> whom I exchange such servicess. They send me things to look over and I
> send
> pieces to them. It's actually a pretty fun process, since each of us
> have
> our different interests and styles. I learn a lot about the fields of
> library science and private pilotting from reading my sister's work and
> she
> and I have had some very deep philosophical discussions after she has
> read
> one of my metaphysical or mental health articles. This list can be a
> great
> resource, as well.
> I also find that I can usually pick up such mistakes as the ".," one
>
> mentioned by Donna, as well as have a pretty good ear for spelling
> errors,
> provided I don't put myself to sleep reading my own work! (grin) Now,
> when a
> spelling error results in a homonym, JAWS doesn't pick that up and
> neither
> does spell check, as it only checks for spelling, not appropriateness of
> the
> words. We can also recognize habitual errors we make and, when proofing,
>
> check for these errors. For instance, because I type at about 120 wpm, I
>
> frequently miss the synchronization of the "Shift" key with the letter
> key;
> therefore, when I proof my own work, I stop and check for capitals where
>
> they should be.
> Another important reason for having someone else examine your work
> is to
> help ensure you are communicating what you intend. You may know what you
>
> want to say but may not say it! Sometimes we forget that not everyone
> else
> has the grasp of the subject we have. The reason we are writing is
> because
> we have a better grasp of the subject than others and a desire to share
> this
> knowledge or perspective. An objective look can help accomplish the goal
> of
> answering questions, rather than creating more! (smile) I know I have
> read
> some pieces that left me scratching my head!
