who knew?

Proofreading and editing are not the same thing. I'm sure many people, as well as myself were not aware of this. I always figured they were one in the same. When editing, it's necessary to read through every word, sentence, and paragraph to make sure they all fit together nicely. When proofreading, you need to make sure you spelled everything correctly and used the right words in the right places. I was stressing about getting everything perfect for my first paper and how hard it was going to be. Then, I read these few pages about editing and proofreading and it put me at ease by providing many helpful tips. After reading this, I definately think I will have an easier time revising papers from now on.
