4. Correct
When your communication is correct, it fits your audience. And correct communication is also error-free communication.
Do the technical terms you use fit your audience's level of education or knowledge?
Have you checked your writing Add to My Personal Learning Plan for grammatical errors? Remember, spell checkers won't catch everything.
Are all names and titles spelled correctly?

Hi Daniel,
Thanks so much for meeting me at lunch today! I enjoyed our conservation, and I'm looking forward to moving ahead on our project. I'm sure that the two-weak deadline won't be an issue.
Thanks again, and I'll speak to you soon!
Best,
Jack Miller
If you read that example fast, then you might not have caught any errors. But on closer inspection, you'll find two. Can you see them?
The first error is that the writer accidentally typed conservation instead of conversation. This common error can happen when you're typing too fast. The other error is using weak instead of week.
Again, spell checkers won't catch word errors like this, which is why it's so important to proofread everything!
