3. I'm always amazed at the errors I see when I'm reading. |
|
I'd love to be a proofreader. These were hilarious, BTW. Thanks for my laughing morning.

4. Yeah, and I've noticed books aren't proofread well any more either. |
|
So many run on sentences, wrong words probably substituted by MS Word, etc.
I don't get it why, with the job market so soft, any publisher can't/won't find GOOD proofreaders.

7. Red Tape is always stronger than any other tape |

Unfortunately, I see errors in my local paper daily. No such thing as an editor in print media, it seems.
