Now for a little test.  Do you see the mistake in the sentence above?

“Your” is incorrect.  The correct word is “you’re”  which is the contraction of you are.  Your is the possessive of you.  This is the most common of incorrect word usage that I see.

You want to come across as knowledgeable, professional and polished in your written communication.  The information in this article can help you do just that.  I suggest that you print a copy and keep it handy to help you with your writing.
