The content you write on social media, email and other day-to-day messaging channels is extremely powerful. But common writing errors often lead a bad impression, permanently. As they say, the pen is more powerful than the sword. If your content is good it will have a long-lasting effect and your readers will start believing what you say. For the content to be impactful it has to be devoid of any typos or grammatical errors.
Grammar errors can send a message that you're not smart, not responsible or even that you don't know what you're talking about.

Studies show it only takes a fraction of a second for a person to lose interest in your content after reading typos and grammatical errors.
