Re: Proofreading

As one who has read a number of voice-over scripts over many years I never ceased to be amazed at the illiterate copy I was given. Some required serious editing before recording. However writing words to be read aloud is a very different world than writing for print. (I once wrote a 60 second spot that contained exactly one sentence just to see if it could be done. On the air it sounded fine.)

Some people may have a mild case of dyslexia that prevents accurate proofreading. Others may have accendentially pushed the send button before finishing proofreading the copy. Let's cut them some slack.
