Editing
Editing is the step where you correct your grammar mistakes. Spell Check tries to make this step easier. When you see red lines under words, you know they are spelled wrong. But sometimes spell check doesnt find all of the words that are considered wrong. There are words that exist that aren’t in your word processor’s dictionary. For example, homonyms are technically spelling errors. Homonyms are words that are pronounced the same, but have different meanings. They won’t come up as spelling errors. So, you have to pay attention to little details like this. Grammar errors are a little more difficult to find. The green lines in a word processor attempt to help you see your own grammar errors. But, this is also limited; in fact, sometimes it’s just wrong. It might tell you that you have a fragment when you have a noun and a verb in the sentence.
