ATTENTION TO DETAIL 2: PROOFREADING IS STILL IMPOTENT…ER, IMPORTANT

Almost a year ago, we posted Attention to detail: the importance of proofreading and other matters of grammer. Even though it remains one of our most commented posts, as the title of this post elludes to, some out there are still lacking the power to effectively proofread.
