Basically, anyone who needs their writing improved - whether it is just a minor edit or
an entire rewrite - can use Triangle Ink's services. Also, anyone that has an idea about the type of writing that they
want, but is not sure how to go about creating the material or does not have the time to create it themselves can use the
services of our writer.
Why do people need editors and proofreaders?
No matter how good your writing is, it is difficult to spot your own mistakes.
All work can be improved by having an expert who is trained to spot grammatical errors review it.
Doesn't the spell and grammar checker on my word processing
package do a good enough job?
No. Although these tools spot many errors, they cannot replace a human when it
comes to word selection or word order. They just cannot detect certain types of errors. For example, if by mistake
the writer selects the wrong word but the wrong word is actually a real word and is spelled correctly, a spell checker
will not find the mistake.
