Profredding... Yeah

... Oh dear.

I'm not entirely sure what in the world that was.

...

Yeah.

So, that video that we watched ("The The Impotence of Proofreading." by Taylor Mali - it's hilarious, watch it), was all about proofreading and how important it is, except that as the speaker is talking about proofreading, he is talking with typos in his speech and sounding really stupid (yet funny) and inappropriate (yet hilarious).

But seriously, proofreading is extremely important to, like, all of life. It leads to good communication skills, better essays, good grades, good colleges, a good job, the whole shebang. Without proofreading, a lot of us essay writers would look like complete idiots. People are prone to error because we are not perfect, so proofreading is a way of compensating for our erroneous ways (that sounded really epic).

Proofreading is very simple. You just reread over what you have written specifically to look for mistakes in grammar or spelling. However, oral proofreading is very wise as well. It's when you review what you are going to say in your head before you say it, and make sure you say everything right. For instance, I made the same error on A Tale of Two Cities as did the guy in that video when talking to my teacher once because I was talking to fast. Yeah, that was really embarrassing (thankfully she retired that year).
