9) Proof read, and then proof read again. Here’s a funny story. When my sister got married, my wife (the sister-in-law) asked to proof read the wedding invitation. My sister refused, ha, ha. The wedding invitation said, “we request the honor of your presents” not presence. My wife was an English major, the wife got the last laugh, it kept us amused for some time. Never mess with an English major, they always win.
