Ware, wear, or where? 👗 These homophones catch so many people out!

📌 WARE = goods or products ("software", "kitchenware")
📌 WEAR = to put on clothing ("I'll wear my jacket")
📌 WHERE = a location ("Where are you going?")

Homophones sound the same but mean completely different things — and spell checkers won't always catch them because they're all spelled correctly! This is exactly why human proofreading matters. 👀

Struggling with Harvard referencing? You're not alone! 📖

Here are the basics to get you started:

📌 In-text citation: (Author's surname, Year) — e.g. (Smith, 2022)
📌 Multiple authors: Use "et al." after the first author if there are 3 or more — e.g. (Smith et al., 2022)
📌 Direct quotes: Include the page number — e.g. (Smith, 2022, p.45)

Always double-check your university's specific guide as requirements can vary!

Do you know when to use capital letters? 🔠

A lot of students either over-capitalise or under-capitalise in their essays — and both can cost you marks!

✅ Always capitalise: the first word of a sentence, proper nouns, titles before names (e.g. Professor Smith)
❌ Don't capitalise: seasons (spring, summer), general subjects (unless a language, e.g. English), general job roles

Getting this right makes your writing look so much more polished. 👌

Did you know apostrophe errors are one of the top reasons students lose marks? ✏️

It's a small punctuation mark — but it makes a BIG difference. Common mistakes we see:
❌ "it's" when you mean "its"
❌ "students" when you mean "student's"
❌ "your" when you mean "you're"

These are exactly the kind of errors a professional proofread will catch — before your lecturer does.

At Proofers, our student proofreading service is affordable, fast, and thorough. We'll make sure your apostrophes (and everything else!) are spot on before you submit.

Affect vs Effect — which one is correct? 🧐

This is one of the most common mistakes in student essays — and it's easier to get right than you think!

📌 AFFECT = the verb (the action) — "The weather affected my mood."
📌 EFFECT = the noun (the result) — "The effect of the weather on my mood was significant."

Memory trick: AFFECT = Action (both start with A). EFFECT = End result (both start with E).

Their, there, or they're? 🤔 Still confusing you?

You're definitely not alone — these three words trip up even the most confident writers. Here's a quick reminder:

📌 THEIR = belonging to them ("It's their book")
📌 THERE = a place ("Put it over there")
📌 THEY'RE = they are ("They're coming tonight")

A simple trick: if you can replace the word with "they are" — use they're. If it shows ownership — use their. Everything else is there!
