Students and business people alike feel that they can rely on spell checkers and grammar check features in their writing software to correct all typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in their written documents. Why pay for proofreading or editing when Microsoft Word offers an excellent spelling and grammar tool?

Well, these tools are definitely useful but still far from foolproof! For instance, a spell checker cannot detect all errors - ‘there’ and ‘their’, ‘to’ and ‘too’ are some basic mistakes, and many other misspellings fall through the net as they may constitute valid words as well. 
 
Similarly, grammar checkers work with a limited number of language rules and fail to highlight all possible errors in a document. Moreover, even with the errors that are identified, there is a distinct lack of clear explanation about the type of sentence revision that is needed.

But when it comes to academic writing like theses, dissertations and other papers, correct spelling, grammar, syntax, structure and clarity are almost as important as the quality of the content. Therefore professional dissertation or thesis editing and proofreading becomes a must.

And, when it comes to qualified proofreading and thesis editing, it doesn’t get better than at HKNETS. The professional service is provided by experienced native English editors which ensure top-quality results time and again.

Quality is supreme but the fees definitely are not. In fact they have remained unchanged since HKNETS’ inception in 2003 at HK$100 per 1,000 words.
