Phrases that PerfectIt Never Checks

Checking with PerfectIt is very fast. However, as with any software checker, you need to check PerfectIt’s suggestions carefully, because sometimes the identified ‘issues’ are actually correct. For example, for people who work at the Department of Energy (DOE), it might be appropriate to use ‘DOE’ without ever defining it. However, PerfectIt will pick this up as an issue when it runs the check for abbreviations that have not been defined. By clicking on the Customize menu and selecting Never find ‘DOE’, it is possible to teach PerfectIt to ignore this ‘issue’. As you teach PerfectIt to ignore certain words or phrases in this way, it becomes more accurate and saves you even more time.
