Don't ignore this page just because it looks a little odd. We have done it to help you to become a more experienced proof reader before you start to search for our deliberate mistakes on the rest of the web site. Read on: It may prove most helpful. To escape there is a link at the bottom.

One of the things which are easily missed arewordswhich areaccidentlay writtenwithout the spacing gapsbetween them. This can causean amountof confusionbutonthewholeisfairlyeasytospot.

Another problem occurs when the typist becomes forgetful and uses slang or a local dialect with phrases such as ‘nay tha dunt rockon it’s tother dust?’ Corrected, this would read as ‘You don’t think it’s the other one do you?’ Normally this isn’t too difficult to sort out but, when the gaps between the words are also missing, it can become quite a problem.

Take for example ‘Midadzgorajag.’ This was said by someone who was referring to his father’s car. (Or, if it was young Prescott, he said ‘Midadzgottwojags.’ It’s easy to understand and correct and so is the quite natural question from his friend, ‘Wellwerzegorumfromthen’. ‘Heniktonetotherdaydownbitdocks’ was the young mans relpy. That is slightly more difficult to follow but not quite impossible.
