Why is proofreading so hard?

People proofread ineffectively because of:

• Lack of time.
  • We’re expected to proofread in moments when we need minutes.
• Lack of patience.
  • We’re desperate to send off now what we’ve written.
• Lack of skills.
  • 90% have had no proofreading training.

Therefore, we need pals to proofread our documents after we’ve done our best.
