proof reading and editing

Proof reading and editing, two different things. I had no idea!
When proof reading you make sure that every word is spelled correctly and every word and sentence is where it is meant to be as well as check for correct punctuation. I don't know about you, but i am not the best speller. I make sure to proof read all of my papers many times to check all of my punctuation and spelling. Although I may proof read many times it doesn't mean that I'll catch all of my mistakes and that is the exact reason why it is a good idea to have someone proof read your paper as well.
While editing you check to make sure your paper flows well together. You make sure your paragraphs are fitting into the right places as well as your sentences. This as well as proof reading needs to have a peer perspective and not just your own.
In the future just remember that proof reading and editing are two different things and need to be done.
