  1. Hi Caitlin,

    Great blog post! I love reading clients’ positive feedback to proofreaders; it’s encouraging to see that court reporters really appreciate the work of proofreaders.

    However, I think there is a minor error in the blog post: near the bottom, it says, “Instead, the proofreader she used was someone she’s known for her entire 34-year career”; based on the screenshot of the e-mail chain that you provided, I think the court reporter is saying that she used someone whose mother she had worked for for 31 of her 34 years: “I worked for her mother for 31 of my 34 years.” It’s confusing, though, since she preceded that statement by saying, “No, it’s a girl I’ve known for my entire career”… So did she know both the woman and her mother for her entire career? It’s a bit confusing.
