Proof reding seems to be something that has gone right out of the window, on forum posts too. In some cases, it doesn't matter, so long as the message gets through. But in tuition and music books, its vital as you can end up teaching students the wrong thing. It can't take that much extra effort to get something proof read, surely? It shouldn't be the original author, as your brain KNOWS what you are trying to say so just assumes it reads that way. Should always be another person proofing who knows the subject. And is a bit of a
pedant!
