*er*
I cheated. I printed it out so I can read it this evening.
I’ve always liked proof-reading, though I’m not too good at it with my own stuff.
Whenever I review my own writing, I proofread backwards. This forces my focus onto the individual words and punctuation. I think that’s the only viable method for proofing any written work with which one has a great degree of familiarity. Attempting to proof in normal reading order invites the mind to get caught up with the author’s concepts and ideas, and, as such, tends to create a barrier to noticing the technical minutiae of missed spelling and bad punctuation. This is nowhere more true than when the proofreader and the author are the same person.
In that case I have a 700+ page technical standard that needs proof-reading. *\;-)
