proofreading

Something nobody does on this site, thus paving the way for incomprehensible gibberish that looks like it was written by retarded infants who were thrown at brick walls, half of whom (not the walls, you doofus) were promptly scooped up and thrown farther by garbage trucks. That should explain why this shithole feels like an asylum.

proof reader 

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.
