"Hang Him Not Kill Him"
"Woman without her man is nothing"
"Shooting leaves one wounded"
"Woman without her man is nothing"
"Shooting leaves one wounded"
The statements above are given as an example of not putting it in such a way, punctuation is not used. Some of it does make sense but it depends wad statement is being made. When you insert punctuation such as coma, or colon like this,
"Hang Him, Not Kill Him" vs "Hang Him Not, Kill Him"
"Woman: Without her, man is nothing"
"Shooting leaves, one wounded"
"Woman: Without her, man is nothing"
"Shooting leaves, one wounded"
The above statement are used with punctuation. Crazy Isn't it. I can imagine last time I did lots of mistake in my statement because of punctuation as well. Anyhow, punctuation is categorized in the proofreading section. Proofreading is a method where we actually spend the 25% of our time putting everything together, read and check through our report writing. It starts from revise, followed by produce and proofreading.
One thing that's new to me. Do you know about "Flesch Reading Ease"? It's a function in Microsoft words that will tell us how difficult the journal, news, paragraph or other reading journal is by the rules below.
0 - 30 for University Student
60 - 70 for 13 - 15 years old
90 - 100 for 11 Year old
121 is for highest possible score
It means that if the paragraph is rated 30, the person must be someone who writes journal or thesis or an article which is hard to understand. The paragraph is easier to understand when the ranking number above goes higher. An example would be Reader's Digest rank 65 while Time Magazine ranked 52. Let me show you if you still don't understand. I'm using Words 2007. Activate it in word Options on your word button, and choose Proofing tab. Check the show readability statistic (as shown in the picture below).
Go to Review tab and go to check for Spelling and Grammar. Click on it and ignore all the dictionary words until it shows something like this.
If you click on the picture above it will show you the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level which is 15.4. Pretty hard to understand the whole article. Interesting function.
That's pretty much gonna save time for me to survey my article for readability.
Cheerz~~

Oh.... basic english class started, hehe...
haha.. not really. i'm bad in english...
sometimes we just need to use industrial jargons (which everyone in the same industry understands), but that causes the readability score goes down, so i never use that feature at all, all i use is F7 for grammar and spelling check, that's it!! haha..
sk: Which industry are you from?
U study in programming?
Chris: no le.. hehe... i never like programming. :P
