Chapter three of the Kent book really explains the importance of editing and proofreading. This chapter tells you what tense to speak in, how important it is to speak correctly, why you should use a style book and how to use proofreading marks.

Learning all of these things aren't only good for your classes or your profession they are also good knowledge to have right now while you are using social media. Now days with all of the social media being used anyone can look up information about you any way they want to. They can look to Facebook, MySpace and Blogs to see personal information about you. This can be a really good thing or a really bad thing, depending on your knowledge of grammar and spelling.

When employers are looking to hire someone they typically are able to look up the person's Facebook or whatever. This is why you need to make sure it's cleaned up. When using Facebook or just blogging on a website you need to make sure your grammar is correct. This is a way that employers can see how your write. If they don't have a sample of your work or want a more in depth sample they can Google your name online.

If you aren't practicing these simple little tasks on your social media websites then it could harm you in the long run. You could end up looking like you don't know your information you learned from school and your AP books, even though you really do.

This is why I like to practice correct grammar no matter what I'm writing for. You never know who is watching and judging you.
