Confessions of a Proofreader
Here are the things I ALWAYS double check because we all have things that just won’t stick.
How to spell onomatopoeia - yes even then
When to use a comma with a subordinating conjunction
What a subordinating conjunction is
How to format tables in word - why Microsoft? Why?
How to change spacing in tables - again, why do you hate me Microsoft?
The differences in punctuating speech in American and UK English when working for my friends and clients across the pond
But here’s the thing, I have tabs open for all these things for quick reference and guess what - that’s my job!
You don’t need to worry about the spellings that just won’t go in or the grammar that has always eluded you.
Use a proofer, say what you want to say and let me worry about fixing any errors. I check so you don’t have to!
PS. Use a comma with a subordinating conjunction when it is needed for clarity only - but you don’t really need to know that, I do!
