What is proofreading?

In the publisher’s typeset proofs:

  • Detecting and correcting all errors of spelling and other typographical errors

  • Checking and correcting the punctuation if necessary

  • Drawing attention to any grammatical errors or possible errors of fact

  • Ensuring that typographical specifications and other instructions have been followed

(E.L. Dellow, A First Course in Proof Correcting)
