What are five common writing errors?

Estimates indicate as much as 80 percent of business and other organizational writing contains errors that distract and confuse.

You can drastically reduce this unsatisfactory and dangerous error rate by focusing on a few areas where the errors are concentrated.

The "Top 5" correctness problems are:

  • Sentence Fragments
  • Subject-Verb Agreement
  • Comma Splices and Run-On Sentences
  • Possessives of Nouns and Pronouns
  • Spelling

Writers in organizations tend to make the same kinds of mistakes repeatedly. Eliminating these five types of errors will significantly reduce the number of mistakes in your writing, including e-mail.
