I couldn't resist sharing a couple of things from my birthday trip to Maine, March 15-21, 2014. This is the menu from the table at a sports bar we visited. We had a good giggle, discovering all of the errors in spelling & punctuation. See how many you can find. Sorry for the poor photo quality, from my "stupid" phone!
The book arrived in the mail today. not the last proofreading copy, or the first one I wrote. It's no longer an idea. I held my book in my hands this afternoon.
i sat on the front porch steps and cried.
Yeay I did it! I have finished my novel. I secretly worked on it quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and today I finished it. Now I only have to do some proofreading and then it’s all done. I also have to do some work on the storyboards, so that if Mr Spielberg wants to make a movie out of it he can look at those, I’m sure that makes things a lot easier for him. My uncle will do the final read-through, if there are still any mistakes left after that, their his fault :-)
If I don’t have to rewrite too much, I will post the first chapter in a couple of days.
The last stage that a researcher has to go through, before submitting his dissertation to the review committee, is Dissertation Proofreading. The motive of this stage is to remove the minutest flaws from the dissertation, like the spelling and typo errors, wrong punctuations and spacing, grammar and logical sequence of the structure.
Good books of the week :-)
Careful proofreading two years later.
This book is absolutely fantastic; and disturbing.

Note: Proofreader of newspaper did mistake and added wrong byline, so I wrote with pen my name :) Publication on one of the biggest Latvian Daily newspaper NRA. At this picture: FIFA World Cup 2014 Qualification game Latvia - Lithuania. Artjoms Rudnevs (Hamburger SV, Bundesliga)
It would appear that the typesetter may have made a slight error...

I don't know why the blades went all curvy. But then again, it is a helico-pter, so it's reasonable. Anyway, this is us having landed at Bottcher's Gap. From here it was a 45-minute drive in the truck up to Carmel for brunch, then home--and, despite my stubborn willfulness ("I must proofread!"), a nap. I hadn't slept since the night before. I guess the nap, too, was reasonable. (See here for the whole story, if you're interested.)
The Writing Center at the University of Miami strives to help all members of the university community learn more about writing and become better writers. Writers at all levels can benefit from sharing their writing with someone who is both knowledgeable and trustworthy, someone who is not grading them or evaluating their work. Our professional and friendly staff of faculty and graduate students will work with you in one-to-one consultations on all stages of the writing process: from note-taking and pre-writing to revision strategies and proofreading techniques.
Once again, The Rumour - You Me At Six. Man, i love that song<3
I have finished writing the first part of Rest In Peace, and I sent it to my proofreader a couple days ago. So it should be released from the 16th-18th, at latest.

They're not actually together, and I doubt they ever will be, but I was just playing around with poses and bada bing, bada boom. [:
For a product that has "never existed", there is an extraordinary amount of residue to suggest that JIFFY PEANUT BUTTER was once a household staple.
While there are thousands of coupons and local grocers advertising JIFFY PEANUT BUTTER, in truth, if a client is paying for an advert, they'll print whatever is supplied in the space purchased. I endeavoured to include newspaper articles that would have had the support of a team of fact-checkers and proofreaders; after all, the reputation of any paper is built on the veracity of their information.
I also wondered if perhaps JIF was once called JIFFY before being purchased by larger conglomerates, but it seems to have been christened JIF from the very beginning:
"In 1958, the brand rollout in the US involved a heavily publicized house-to-house distribution of free sample jars from special trucks emblazoned with the then JIF mascot, the "JIFaroo", a blue kangaroo. An early slogan was "JIF is never dry; a touch of honey tells you why." Early advertising also emphasized the beveled edge of the jar base, meant to make it easier to get the last bit of JIF out of the corner. For many decades, TV commercials for the product have ended with the tagline, "Choosy mothers choose JIF" and, in the 1990s, "Choosy moms choose JIF." Since 1981, JIF has been the leading peanut butter brand in the United States."
superheroesincolor: Before There Was Mozart: The Story of Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-George (2012) “The musical superstar of 18th-century France was Joseph Boulogne—a black man. This inspiring story tells how Joseph, the only child of a black slave and her white master, becomes “the most accomplished man in Europe.” After traveling from his native West Indies to study music in Paris, young Joseph is taunted about his skin color. Despite his classmates’ cruel words, he continues to devote himself to his violin, eventually becoming conductor of a whole orchestra. Joseph begins composing his own operas, which everyone acknowledges to be magnifique. But will he ever reach his dream of performing for the king and queen of France?

This photo is useful in two ways. 1) it shows Larisa what Chex are. 2) it illustrates that megacorps don't effing proofread. If these are RICE Chex, then why is it oven toasted CORN cereal? I'll tell you why. It's because they copied and pasted the logo from Corn Chex and forgot to change this part. Woops!
Proofreading involves checking a document for errors.
The proofreader highlights these errors using proofreaders’ marks (also known as proofreading symbols) then passes the document to its originator for corrections.
Hoy amanecía y yo hacía rato que estaba despierta y revisando una traducción. Lo único bueno fue poder ver cómo el sol naranja furioso llenaba de luz el cuarto.
[The early bird...
When the sun rose today, I had been awake and proofreading a translation for a while. The only good thing about it was seeing how the furiously orange sunlight filled the room.]

if you haven't started watching "community" yet, you should. and i mean that with the utmost sincerity.
having fun relaxing and such in latvia. basically i've spent the past week and half kind of sitting around, reading, doing some proofreading (which, even though i'd categorically stated i WOULDN'T do, found myself doing anyway), and trying to wrap my head around the literary world in latvia and elsewhere.
that said, if you're looking for some interesting summer reading AND you want to support translated literature, check out the book reviews on the Three Percent book blog. you can start *ahem* by reading one of mine :D
i've been MIA—how are all of you doing?

Yes, this sign does exist. And my assumptions are that it was proofread and approved by those who paid for it.

It's amazing to see copy go out with such a terrible mistake. Not only did they misspell the very 1st word, but they continue to refer to Abode's Flash player and what not, basically spelling it wrong every single time.
This screen shot is from www.themoneytimes.com/reviews/20091110/rim-teams-abode-im... but the copy error went out all over the world and was reprinted in several websites.

You'd think that somebody paying a professional sign painter to do something like this would proofread the copy first. And then check it again. And then maybe go over it one more time.
Apparently I am mistaken in my assumption.

Oops, another day where I failed to take a photo all day. I wasn't particularly busy - there was a lot of sitting on the sofa, to be honest, although I did finally return to proofreading my old schoolfriend's novel.
Tim had a new laptop arrive today - only to discover that it had a broken pixel almost right in the middle of the screen (so a permanent black speck). No idea how that passed quality control. Shame, as he was excited to get it set up and start using it (his old one has become so slowww). He phoned Currys to arrange a return and a replacement.
Made a very tasty Niçoise salad for lunch today, and Tim cooked us a chicken curry for dinner - both of which meals will continue to feed us tomorrow :)
Boston - 1950s. Just a few doors down from my father's print shop at 7 Hudson St. It was 'our place to eat'. My mother would catch the subway from her job at the East Boston publishing Company where she worked as a proofreader and join my father and I at the shop and then for a Friday evening dinner at the Green Dragon.
My father's shop had been in Chinatown for decades and he was an integral part of that small business community - One of my jobs was to deliver the menus to the restaurants and so became familiar with the back room folks. We were always invited to any local banquet and their were many.
My favorite meal at The Green Dragon was 'Hot Turkey Sandwich with French Fries' lol - Still probably the best I have ever had anywhere since, it was not on the menu - the days of hospitality.
