Feature: Proofreader's Marks

Before Track Changes or other electronic methods for indicating problems in an article or story came to be, there were proofreader's marks.

That was a lot of fun to read, thanks! I had forgotten most of those. The only ones I still use are transpose and new paragraph... they're also the only two I've managed to train my colleagues to understand! (And insert comma and insert full stop, of course, but those are quite obvious...)

I remember using these marks for paper proofing of articles for our high school newspaper. Fun times!
