Proofreading

PROOFREADING
Proofreading is not an innate ability; it is an acquired skill. The following exercises will help you master it, or at any rate will impress you with how difficult it is.
Hints for successful proofreading:
Cultivate a healthy sense of doubt. If there are types of errors you know you tend to make, double check for those.
