E-grammar-editing's Grammar Guide to a Polished Presentation

When you are editing and proofreading for grammar, you’re looking at the way words and parts of the sentences are put together. The goal of proper grammar is to keep thoughts clear and sentences flowing.

If your Web site states that you saw the great Colorado River flying over the Grand Canyon, will your reader envision a river with wings or understand your view takes place from an airplane?

If your company manual identifies the four traits for successful employment as

1. Enthusiasm

2. Honesty

3. Compatibility

4. Responsible

will unparallel word selection (noun, noun, noun, adjective) break the rhythms so important to memory?

For some maybe, for others maybe not, but why confuse a reader whose attention is already fleeting? And why not use the most efficient structure if it aids memory retention or simply appeals to our natural patterns of speech?
