Errors we look for

These are the types of errors that writers most appreciate hearing about:
  • misplaced words (often from a spell check 'fix'),
  • noun-verb agreement,
  • and of course, misspellings.
Regardless, any mistake that you would be embarrassed to see in your own work is fair game. 

Typo hunting tips

Though there is no one place that is most likely to have typos, we have seen some trends:
  • Captions are often under-edited.
  • Technical writing is sometimes sloppy.
  • Apostrophe use is like the wild west.
  • Double words or wrong words are a frequent occurrence.
We do not expect you to become expert copy editors. However, if you stumble in your normal reading, often there is an issue worth reporting.
