Many editors recommend you not proofread your work on the computer screen. Here's why.


No, by proofreading your work on the computer screen I'm not referring to a White-Out joke...the point is that when you read something online and when you read it in print your mind processes it a little differently. It is very easy to miss errors when you read text on the computer. Try it once and see how many more errors you find once you've printed a hard copy.
