Just good English teachers. Site/sight/cite. Board/bored. Boarder/border. IMO, if YOU wrote it, YOU can't proof it. Call a friend.

Most of us, I dare say, don't catch a typed error once in a while before it appears on a virtual or paper page. I've read that one proofreading trick is to read backwards what you've typed. Right now I'm trying out breaking each word into syllables, sounding them out, and staring them down. And zooming in on the spaces and punctuation marks.

Got any tricks that help you proofread?
