English Editing Services by Professional Proofreaders

Would you rely on a spellchecker for your PhD thesis, your company’s marketing content, or the CV you wrote last week for your upcoming job application? Hopefully not – in each of these cases, a much more suitable option, and one that will give you peace of mind, involves using professional proofreading services, and even book proofreading services UK.

Why is it, though, that spellcheckers, and even freely available online services such as Grammarly, are so awful?It would be lovely if they weren’t, but unfortunately, we do not yet live in that world. Perhaps an Elon Musk-backed firm like the well-known OpenAI, which recently made waves in the media about its automated text generation system, will solve this problem. The notable tech company’ssystem, dubbed “GPT-2”,has been lauded as a striking leap forward in the field of natural language processing (otherwise known as “NLP”),but it is – as of June 2020 –extremely bad at providing professional proofreading services.

It’s perplexing that a system such as GPT-2 exists, and yet Microsoft Word’s inbuilt spellchecker still tells us that “dog doge dog doge caterpillar dog doge” is an acceptable and publication-ready sentence (it is, as a matter of fact, nonsense, and this is something any respectable proofreader or editor working in the English language would tell you). Since this is the case, though, the most astute authors will continue to use book proofreading services UK, and any sensible student will rely on professional proofreading services rather than entrusting Grammarly, Microsoft Word, or OpenAI with their most valuable and mission-critical documents.

The complexity of the English language is one of the reasons why students, businesses, website owners, and any other professionals who depend on high-quality written work favour human proofreaders over even the most state-of-the-art computers and machines. For a business to create a convincing advertisementor promotional piece that resonates with target audiences, typographical errors and embarrassing mistakes in grammar should be avoided at all costs. These errors are guaranteed to undermine all the hard work done to build a convincing brand image, and they lead to mishaps that – if at all possible – should be avoided. Thankfully, professional proofreading services are affordable, immediately accessible, and – if you choose a reliable and efficient provider –proven to improve the quality of your written work.

Book authors, as inherently creative people, are generally not the most adept proofreaders. After all, if an author is renowned for producing imaginative, structured, and inspired prose, how can they be expected to excel in the analytical, unimaginative task of proofreading? For this reason, book proofreading services UK are valuable for writers. All of the world’s most notable writers in the English language, including Stephen King, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Ray Bradbury, knew this, and this is one of the main factors that has contributed to the rising demand for proofreaders and editors.
