Someone who corrects the English mistakes in the
work of another writer. The shepherd who safely guides thoughts and ideas through the swamps of the English language. A maintenance worker who struggles to keep that cobbled together bridge between the writers mind and the readers mind called English from collapsing. A harmless drudge who works just as hard on a toilet paper ad as on a
work that
will be considered a
jewel of western literature. A pain in the neck when it's your paper they're correcting.
The quality of your
paper is A+, the mechanics is D- , you are a miserable
proof reader. I really stink at
English my spouse has to proofread all my writing.
