Proofreading is crucial for polishing written work and catching errors. Here is a list of 20 common items we check when proofreading (and this list is not exhaustive):

• Spelling – Ensure there are no misspelled words.
• Grammar – Check for correct use of grammar, especially with tricky words (e.g., "affect" vs. "effect").
• Punctuation – Verify commas, periods, colons, semicolons, etc., are used correctly.
• Capitalization – Ensure proper nouns and the start of sentences are capitalized appropriately.
• Subject-Verb Agreement – Subjects and verbs should agree in number.
• Verb Tense Consistency – Make sure tenses are consistent and logical throughout.
• Sentence Structure – Avoid run-on sentences and sentence fragments.
• Apostrophes – Check for correct use in possessives and contractions.
• Word Choice – Ensure words fit the intended meaning and avoid unnecessary repetition.
• Conciseness – Eliminate redundant words or phrases.
• Formatting Consistency – Verify consistent use of fonts, margins, and spacing.
• Paragraph Structure – Check that each paragraph flows logically and supports the main idea.
• Clarity – Look for sentences that may be confusing or unclear.
• Pronoun Agreement – Ensure pronouns agree with their antecedents in number and gender.
• Homophones – Be cautious of words that sound alike but have different meanings (e.g., "their," "there," "they’re").
• Quotation Marks – Check the placement and style of quotation marks.
• Proper Nouns and Names – Confirm all names and proper nouns are spelled correctly.
• Citations and References – Ensure citations are properly formatted and complete.
• Numerical Consistency – Spell out or use numerals consistently according to the style guide.
• Overall Flow – Read for a natural flow and ensure all ideas are cohesive and logically connected.

"You think you are reading proof, whereas you are merely reading your own mind; your statement of the thing is full of holes & vacancies but you don't know it, because you are filling them from your mind as you go along. Sometimes--but not often enough--the printer's proof-reader saves you--& offends you--with this cold sign in the margin: (?) & you search the passage & find that the insulter is right--it doesn't say what you thought it did: the gas-fixtures are there, but you didn't light the jets."
