Are you a grammar expert (or non-expert) who has some grammatical pet peeves they wouldn’t mind sharing with me?
I would truly appreciate your input, comments and suggestions because I am currently writing a transcription guidelines document for my expanding team. I will give credit to each of you in the resources section. You can contact me offline via email as to how much of your personal information you would like displayed.
For example, one of the things I hear often is, “That’s the most important thing is that you…” or “That’s what will get you far in business is doing…”
I’m no grammar wiz, but as a transcriptionist, I find myself automatically correcting those sentences to start, “The most important thing is that you…” or “What will get you far in business is…”
These are not verbatim transcripts. They are edited for grammar and readability.
If you don’t mind, I would also appreciate your feedback on what type of general reading style you have:
- Skimmer (just reads the headlines or bullets)
- Prober (drills down deep and digests every single word)
Thanks a bunch everyone! I’m looking forward to your comments!
Karen
