Having your article read aloud is a helpful way to detect errors and smooth out bumps. If nobody is willing to read aloud your new 6K word hub, don’t fret.

Thank you KS, I hope that you find it helpful. The “voice” also provides some comic relief now and then, such as when he pronounces foreign words or asks questions.
It's also a good idea to read it aloud yourself because it uses a different part of the brain. I also heard that printing it out helps as well.

I'm wondering if the HubPages Team are aware that earnings data on Amazon sales exported to a csv file is much less useful than it could be because the $ notation is a prefix to each amount rather than topping the column.That means it's impossible to sum the data using a formula.In other words the...
