I don't know if things have changed in the past coughty years, but in my salad days when I had a job at a publishing house proofreading there were cycles of proofing/copyediting, and several levels of proofers. And when one of the 'upper' levels caught a typo, the whole thing went alllllll the way back to us at the bottom to begin again. It was not uncommon to proof the same galley 7, 8, even 9 or more times. Even today when I have a document, I proof it, let it sit for a day or two and come back to it. Read it, catch more and then read it backwards and find still more. B/ |
