Thank you for the opportunity to take your quick proofreading test. I found a total of seven errors. I understand that there were eight. I have always had a knack for seeing mistakes in many facets of writing whether it was a book, a magazine and the worst I’ve found, newspapers. For some unknown reason it drives me crazy seeing these mistakes. I am a avid reader and a non-published writer. I have a very imaginative mind. I also love photography and history.
Proofreading is beneficial for English and many other young and senior students.
