proofreading

The process of reading a text to find and correct errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar before it is published. / The professional activity or service of reviewing a manuscript for typographical errors.
Noun

This term describes the final quality-control phase of writing, focusing on surface-level errors rather than structural changes or content rewriting. It carries a connotation of meticulousness and precision, acting as the last line of defense before a document becomes permanent or public.

As a mass noun, it refers to the general activity or professional field. When referring to specific instances of the task, it remains uncountable, meaning one does not typically refer to a single proofreading; instead, phrases like a round of proofreading or a proofreading session are used to quantify the action.
