At least they don't expect actual proofreaders' marks from me!
I like making actual proofreaders' marks. I think it was the wonderful grown-up feeling I had, the first time the opportunity arose - "see, real proofs to correct! Just like in the how-to books!" - plus the fact that my handwriting is unreadable, so it really helps to have formal marks that everyone understands.
Mission Statement
Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
