Paul,

Yes, we do.  And when we write for our clients, we have a 3rd person proof read.  Ron and I know what each other means and on occasion miss a typo because we immediately read it the right way.  A

I'm pretty good at proof reading and have no problem correcting anything that might have been missed.  It doesn't happen often and helps to remind me that I'm human  

PS Most spell check systems are incorrect for Canadians!

I don't... in the corporate world one of my responsibilities was directing the production of our annual corporate report to shareholders... which is a big deal in a Fortune 500 Company. So I can proof read with the best of them to this day. I proof twice before activating. But my clients don't sign off and can't see anything in any event before I actually activate in our mls.
