Though spell check is a very efficient tool there are items that it simply does not catch. This doesn’t mean that spell check leaves words incorrectly spelled; it means that the word that you intended may not be the word that is included in the paper. For example words such as there and their are commonly mistaken in the context of the sentence. The computer is logical, but is not able to apply common sense to wording. Improper Person Almost every student has a problem with writing in the wrong perspectives at some point or another. This is a very common problem and can be addressed with a little bit of understanding. The two most common perspectives of writing are the first and third person. The second person perspective is generally not required for most college, high school or other academic papers unless otherwise specified. In most cases the third person perspective is used when it applies to everyone and not any one person specifically. First person refers to the author or the individual writing the paper. The first person perspective is commonly seen in opinion or evaluation papers, from the writer’s point of view. Fragments and Run On Sentences Students commonly find themselves either with a long winded sentence or one that is not a complete idea. This is a very common problem among professional writers. Generally, individuals will either have trouble with one or the other, but in some cases both issues are a problem. Spell check will catch fragments and run on sentences for the writer to correct before turning the essay in. Run on sentences are easy to spot because they are two independent sentences sandwiched together. They can be corrected by simply adding punctuation, and therefore separating the sentences. For fragment sentences it is important to express a freestanding idea in the sentence. Below are examples of both: RUN ON: Logan loves to color he is a talented artist. (This would sound better if it were broken down into two – it crams two complete thoughts together.) Fragment: Such as dogs, cats and horses. (This sentence can not stand alone and ma Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:08:14 +0100 http://www.articles3000.com/Education/129893/Removing-Drugs-%26-Pharmaceuticals-From-Drinking-Water.html As the Associated Press documented in a five-month investigation, drinking water provided to at least 41 million people living in 24 major metropolitan areas in the United States has tested positive for trace amounts of pharmaceuticals The drugs discovered included sex hormones, anti-epileptics, cholesterol medications, drugs used to treat depression and mental illness, painkillers, mood altering drugs, tranquilizers, antibiotics, and caffeine t Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:01:17 +0100
