V. How do I format bibliograply entries for newsgroups? Web Pages?

VI. What else should I know?
The following are both important:
a) spelling: An inability to spell correctly makes
you look unprofessional to the reader. Any results or recommendations
from you are automatically suspect, since you are obviously not careful.
Although typographical errors may occur, they should be a rare
exception, not the norm. Make sure that you have run a spell check. Make
sure you or someone you know has proofread the report to ensure no
wrong words, e.g., “form” for “from”, have crept in.
b) Grammar. Same holds as for (a). While sentence
structure and things like passive/active voice are often a matter of
personal style, certain errors are very obvious and irritating (and
common).
Examples:
“alot” WRONG –> “a lot” RIGHT.
Every time you use “its”/”it’s” check this rule:
“its” is a possessive that shows ownership, like “his” and “hers”;
“it’s” is a contraction meaning “it is”
If you can substitute “it is” then use “it’s”.
