You will have slashes through words (which means please remove) and abbreviations for formatting changes (such as italics and bold). You will encounter odd squiggles (often meaning ?delete? or ?transpose?), and your proofreader may even rewrite whole sentences in your margins.

Insert. The caret (^) is not just a symbol for an exponent in a computer, it's a traditional proofreading mark used in the editing process. When you see this sign in a proofreading context, you need to insert any word or element the proofreader suggests.

Proofreading marks (also called proofreaders' marks) are symbols and notations for correcting typeset pages. The proofreader places these marks in the margins and in corresponding lines of text. A slash separates marginal marks that appear on the same line.

For example, to insert a period, most guides will say the proofreader should draw a period with a circle around it, but to insert a letter or word, a carat (^ or ?) is used, and further, to insert a parenthesis, the proofreader will write a parenthesis with two horizontal lines through it.

Capitalization Marks The proofreading mark for capitalization is three horizontal lines placed under the first letter of the word. For a word that should be lowercase, place a slash through the first letter of the word.
