That’s always a good idea, Dee. Sometimes it’s also worth getting a completely fresh pair of eyes to look at it, if you have the time.

It’s always difficult to edit one’s own work. I don’t have as much trouble with words usage, but I do make silly typos. When I write an article or a post, I read it several times out loud to get the cadence right; then, I leave it for a day to marinate. When I go back to it, I have fresh eyes with which to see.~~Dee

I don’t usually misspell these, though I do make typos, such as confusing form and from.

I have to look up affect and effect every time I use them. I can never keep the two straight. Less and Fewer are a similar problem. Since and because are a bit like that but I generally think I’m right on the first try. The rest are generally typos for me.
