I’m sure that “YUO CNA ESIALY RAED TIHS ETNRIE STENECNE”!
Have you seen this? Apparently, as long as the first and last letters of each word are correct, even if the rest of the letters in each word are mixed up, you can still read the sentence!
We think this proves the theory that, when you’re proofing your own work, it’s almost impossible to see it with fresh eyes. Because your mind automatically glosses over the errors. Your mind will occasionally even insert letters or words that aren’t there – as it knows they should be there!
Want a tip from ProofingQueen? Read whatever you’re trying to proofread out loud and/or read it backward.
Or call/email us, because every time we proofread anything, we always read it out loud and backward!
