Being Anal

I don't profess to be extremely good in English. But I have minimum expectations on how work documents should look like. And I tend to vet or correct grammar, editorial and formatting mistakes in work documents I receive. Yes, including those coming from my boss.

As far as possible, work documents should be properly vetted, formatted and edited. Typographical errors just seem careless and unprofessional. One or two which slipped through the cracks are still okay, but not when the whole document is peppered with them.

I attribute this to my Marketing background, having done lots of proofreading on lots of brochures and copy and other papers throughout my working life.

Mostly, I think I'm just being anal.

Is this considered a type of OCD?

Tht said, I try to be mre relaxd whn I am typng or wrtig out a blg entry.....
