Tuesday Tips: Why Spell Check is Important

As we mentioned in our first post almost a little more than a year ago - Tuesday Tips: Spell Check Before You Post - nothing is more embarrassing than to quickly type up a Facebook post, Twitter post or create a graphical image and post it, just to see a few minutes to an hour later that you made a huge spelling mistake and the spelling and grammar police are out to get you.

There are other reasons, besides avoiding embarrassment, that make spell checking important.  Some of those reasons include:

• It makes you, and subsequently your brand, look intelligent.
• It makes you appear to be careful and conscientious of your posts.
• By correct spelling and using the right words, it helps your followers to easily understand you (because yes, using the wrong homophones can create confusion at times).
• It's good for feedback - because let's be honest, you don't want to end up with negative feedback just because of a spelling mistake.

There are many other reasons as well. Check out these articles on why spelling correctly on social media sites is important:
