Too often work is sent for publishing without correct proofing. Spellcheckers for example may pick up spelling mistakes but they can miss incorrect usage. For example, the words their, there and they’re are often confused, as are its and it’s, who’s and whose, him and hymn. All are spelt correctly but each word is used in a different context. Often the author will make errors and they will not be noticed until it’s too late. We’re here to find them – before it’s too late.
