Copy-editing is indispensible

Nobody hands in a Doctoral thesis, master's thesis, bachelor thesis, diploma thesis, term paper or other academic work without first getting someone to take a look over it. Friends and family members generally willingly take this task on, and no one really has a problem with this. This can definitely be considered copy-editing, and almost everyone is convinced that such a review by a second pair of eyes is highly recommendable. We do too! Copy-editing is ultimately an entirely normal service like having your hair cut. And in both cases, this begs the question whether one would ask a friend to do it, or commission an expert.

There, their and they're are indeed all legitimate words that will pass the spell check without a hitch – regardless of the word that should actually be used though.

However, they give the impression of superficial workings, and this influences the overall impression of a piece of work and can certainly affect your mark. This is both frustrating and unnecessary!
