I begin my new job tomorrow, proofreading for Merriam-Webster, the online dictionary. I asked them if I'd be starting at nine, and they told me to fuck off.

I'll be starting at aardvark, like everybody else.

No time for proofreading,

We dye like men.

Politicians have a hard job when it comes to proofreading...

If they don't go back and fix their mistakes, they're letting the Errorists win. But if they do fix mistakes, they're being Eracist.

Proofreading essays

About a week before this, I had my dad and stepmom proofread an essay of mine.

Me: "So I got a C+ on that paper from last week. Apparently my formatting was weird and I didn't make it 'digestible' enough for the readers."

Dad: "Oh wow, I suppose that's my fault. I didn't know we were supposed to eat it."

As an aspiring writer, I always make sure to proofread carefully

Otherwise, I might accidentally some words out

I asked the phlebotomist to proofread my book report while I donated blood...

She said it was typo negative.

How do you proofread a satanist's manuscript?

You edit the devil out of it.

(Substitute "hell" for devil for a less mild take on it. My choirboy sensibilities just couldn't handle it.)
