Sad but true..

I need to proofread my writing. I tend to indeliberately write a word in a sentence that should not be there and make it overused, like the use of 'the' before the pronoun 'it'. Or miss out a word when it should be there, like the absence of the word 'to' before any verb that I choose. Oh well folks, talk about Obligatory Analysis! But the fact is, I'm aware of the rules. The only thing that I'm not aware of is my silly technical mistake, which does not contribute to the effectiveness of my writing style!

But I do make non-technical mistakes, say in my syntax use. Ironically, I know the rules but I just don't know how to apply them. I've tried my best to improve this one. It's all in my tacit knowledge, somewhere in the brain. Now talking about knowing-the-rules-yet-don't-apply-them somehow makes me feel dreadful. I certainly have read about a lot of theories on teaching and know them. But now I'm scared I won't apply it. Unintentionally. What if I don't practice what I preach? I don't walk my talk?

I'm yet to find the solution for this.
