One of the most common spelling errors that people run into on their website is using homonyms incorrectly. One of the most common offenders is “web site” versus “web sight”. The common spell checkers out there aren’t going to catch it, as sight certainly isn’t a fake word, or even a misspelled word, but it isn’t the right word.
Make certain you are sending the “right” message.
As part of this rule, the tense of the word is also important. You want to have the proper suffix for the job; -ing and -ed are our friends. It looks like we’re lazy and may drive away traffic when “We Are Have A Great Sale This Month!” on our website.
Making a mistake like that sends a message to your potential customers that you wrote things quickly, and may not have caught the mistake. We want to present ourselves as professionally as possible, so in addition to using the ever handy spell-check, read your sentence out loud before you submit the change. If it sounds wrong to you, change it until it sounds right!
