Proofers of the World, Untie!

Proofreading is one of those under-appreciated skills that people too often dismiss as mere pedantry. But it’s not easy. Evelyn Waugh, in fact, wryly noted that “now that they no longer defrock priests for sexual perversities, one can no longer get any decent proofreading.”

Waugh’s quote came to mind when I read this story about “freshly ground black people.”

And don’t you just love it when you have someone who isn’t trained in your profession proofread and edit your work? Pure joy.
