Proofreader or proof reader – it’s a dog’s life - Extra Speech

The Proofreader or Proof Reader is a Sick Puppy They say that every proofreader or proof reader suffers from OCD. Do they? Jokes aside, being thorough is a fundamental condition for those who long to pursue this profession. In addition to the high degree of attention to detail, liking reading should also be part of the package. But liking alone is not enough – you must love it. Unconditionally. #proofreading
