Thread Name: BS: Proofreading tricks
Subject: BS: Proofreading tricks
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?
