proofreading quotes

I don’t know if I officially proofread my father’s book, but I read it. I did get some conception of grammar in general from that.

If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?

I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You’re grateful for these different chances.
