Seriously, redundancy, and other serious matters that need serious attention
The holidays are almost here! But hey, I'm not taking a break being on the lookout for articles that make it on the Internet but desperately need some "juice" to make them sizzle. Truth is, there's no shortage of websites, news items, and written stuff that are passable but can be injected with creativity. Here's a good one meant for Black Friday student shoppers:
Editor's
Critique:
As
a proofreader, I'm not bothered by the college-style writing. As an
editor, I find this article in utter need of creativity and depth. On
a positive light, the writer seems to have put a good amount of
effort in organizing a readable article meant for readers on the
student level. Apart from the redundancy of the word “serious,”
this text needed only moderate editing.

All clogged up! Using spaces between punctuations
Because we live in "rushing" society (quoted from wildlittlefan), most of us forget to add space in between our punctuation marks. Not acceptable. If you find it annoying, get a load of this article I edited from Yahoo Voices.
There are plenty of mistakes, but the outstanding one is definitely the lack of spacing between the sentences on the last part of the article.
Don't be stingy on the spaces. They actually add more readability to your work.
