proofreading

When Roland Burris is reached by phone at his Chicago law office earlier this week, he is proofreading copies of his memoir.

For in this case every appearance indicated a careful proofreading on the part of the author of the article.

The proofreading must be trained and consistent, standing for much more than the mere correction of errors.

Every copy was then an edition by itself and a possible source of error, calling therefore for its own proofreading.

A few suggestions as to proofreading and correcting may prove useful.

In general I have therefore limited myself to weeding out certain errors that were overlooked, or introduced, in the proofreading.
