THE LANGUAGE OF THE EDITOR —
In keeping with our theme of editing, we have included two editing tests for our readers. The first involves spelling, and the second involves proofreading. A good dictionary or even a spell checker on the computer can prevent the writer from misspelling a word. However, the proofreader isn't so lucky. Despite the new technology, proofreading terms and the methods used in marking manuscripts remain the same. We have included the standard proofreader's marks used by authors and editors to help you in "correcting the errors" on the next page. Good luck on both!
