Can proofreading be fun? Even humorous? Hmmm....
Any glaring proofreading mistakes you remember making?
Happy weekend, everyone :-)

My husband loves to remind me that in medieval times, nuns sewing tapestries would make a deliberate mistake because they were human and incapable of being perfect. (Don't know where he got that story.) I proofread like crazy, and yet, I continue to find mistakes. Guess I'll put it down to being human. :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting bit of info', Peggy--sounds like your husband is a reader, too :-) I love stumbling upon historical insights like that...
DeleteAnd try as we might, there's always a mistake or two. It's good we can laugh about them occasionally. (Though an agent or an editor might not!)
Just when I think it's perfect I find another mistake. It's so frustrating to go over and over it again and again and keep finding silly little errors you missed.
ReplyDeleteHa! Cute quote :)
