Being based in Japan, where I own and run a small proofreading company specifically catering to medical professionals, I have to say that good proofreaders are very much "the last Samurai". The English that passes for acceptable in medical papers/journals supposedly checked by native English speakers is, let's just say, something to be desired! I know language is supposed to be organic, but try a little harder, please! A fascinating article.

]]> Comment on Common Mistakes in Written English by Editing at Word Nerds http://www.supaproofread.com/blog/common-mistakes-in-written-english/comment-page-1/#comment-3170 Editing at Word Nerds Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:04:24 +0000 http://www.supaproofread.com/blog/?p=326#comment-3170 Thank your for the informative editng post. When editing documents in Australia I'm finding a lot of the US spelling creeping in. For example, 'minimize' instead of 'minimise', 'flavor' instead of 'flavour', and 'practice' (noun) when it should be 'practise' (verb). When you select Australian language in Word, it thinks 'minimize' is correct. Most Australians use UK spelling but it can be confusing if you are constantly exposed to US text.
