Hi, I heard you like proofreading, so I'm here to proofread your post about proofreading.

Well, okay. Not quite. But I am here to write a moderation comment, which will include some editing suggestions.

But first, I'll mention that the content itself is good, and the suggestions are great. I enjoyed reading it!

Now, to my issues. To start, I have a strong objection to using "he" when you're not referring to a specific male-identified person. This is alienating to anyone who isn't. "They" is great, and just waiting for you to use it. The sentence in question is: "If you're working with a good proofreader and want to make his life hell." A good proofreader may well be a woman. In fact, in traditional publishing, they most often are.

• "this article might be just for you." I think you may have meant "this article might just be for you."

• "Let's dive into what a good proofreader does to make sure the project receives the best possible translations - the ones that work in a real environment, not just look pretty when reading 1000 words at a time." I'm going to keep badgering every single Utopian Blog category contributor about this until you all change your ways: This sentence is too long. It should be broken up. "Let's dive into what a good proofreader does to make sure the project receives the best possible translations. I'm talking about the ones that work in a real environment, not just look pretty when reading 1000 words at a time."

These and similar issues aside, this is an awesome contribution. I look forward to your next.
