Common mistakes in LOR

LOR or Letter of Recommendation is one of the few documents not drafted from the student’s point of view but from their academic professors or professional colleagues. The goal of the editor is to make this document as error-free and streamlined as possible. Numerous mistakes are prone to happen while editing LORs. Some are easy to notice, while others need you to restructure and revamp the whole letter. To avoid unnecessary corrections, we need to be mindful of errors while drafting the letters.

• There should always be avoidance of spelling and grammatical mistakes at all costs. Errors in grammar reflect a poor grip on the language and an unwillingness to re-check the document. That reduces the authenticity of documents and it loses the gravitas it needs. 
  
  
• A casual tone is an instant rejection in these scenarios. The wording should be formal and respectful. Writers should have a keen sense of judging whether a word is casual or formal. Any abbreviation, slang or term pertaining to texting culture should never be used anywhere.
  
  
• We should be mindful of the words we are using. No word should be used repeatedly or multiple times. This causes the document to look less than agreeable and reflects a lack of vocabulary. To avoid this problem, use synonyms or try to reframe the sentence.
