I'd like to add that 'typo' is often intentionally mispelled, but with it a part of another article how could I do that without derailing the main thing? Kizor 18:00, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

You mean "misspelled"? ;-) Not quite sure what you're saying, so I'm not quite sure how to answer-- that the word "typo" itself is misspelled? or r u saying that some words r intentionally misspelled thru rapid typing, as in this sentence? Also not sure what part of what other article you have in mind. I'm thinkin' you probably just need to be bold and add what you think needs to be added, and people like me will take a look & do what we think needs doing, too. Thanks for checking.

Was the New York Post error really and Proofreading error? The editor didn't overlook this while proofreading, they just jumped the gun. I think this is better classified as an editorial and factual error.

Agreed, I just took it out. Andre 13:08, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This article is extremely spare and lacking in important historical information and sources regarding proofreading, editing, and typesetting. Not at all helpful or professional.

[edit] UK Schools

I've removed the section on UK schools, because: (1) I've been through the UK education system and have never heard of these marks; (2) The section has no references and I haven't been able to locate any; (3) There is no Ministry of Education in the UK (there is the Department for Education and Skills). 64.103.37.69 11:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam links

Chapterhouse is, I'm sure, a perfectly respectable commercial organisation, and no doubt the courses it runs on proofreading and copy-editing are very good value for money. But it is a commercial organisation and it is not appropriate to provide a link to it in the External links section - still less to sneak a reference into the body of the text! I will continue to keep an eye open, and delete such references whenever they occur. The SfEP, however, is a professional body, and I have reinstated the link to that.
