Proofreading.

Merit badge: poorf typo corrected with red pencil

Do you keep a red pen within reach at all times? Can you spot an extra word space between sentences at fifty paces? Are you known as a typo-seeking missile? If so, you deserve the “proofreading” merit badge! And while we’re on the subject…

Scrap of paper showing proofreading marks for delete; transpose; wrong font; wow, there’s something really wrong with you; hey, that attempt at humor was actually funny; and kill it with fireDear Proofreaders,

I love you.

You have saved my skin many times.

Anybody gives you trouble, you just threaten to send them my way for my special brand of something-similar-to-but-not-quite-proofreading. (Click photo to enlarge.)

XOXO,
Em
