General Instructions 19 <br />2.75. If the proofreader detects inconsistent or erroneous statements, it is <br />his or her responsibility to query them. <br />2.76. If the grammatical construction of a sentence or clause is ques- <br />tioned by a proofreader and it seems desirable to change the form, <br />he or she must indicate the proposed correction, add a query mark, <br />and enclose all in a circle. <br />2.77. All queries appearing on the copy must be carried to the author’s set <br />of proofs. <br />2.78. Proofs that are illegible or are in any manner defective must be <br />called to the attention of the deskperson. <br />2.79. Th e manner in which correction marks are made on a proof is of <br />considerable importance. Straggling, unsymmetrical characters, <br />disconnected marks placed in the margin above or below the lines <br />to which they relate, irregular lines leading from an incorrect let- <br />ter or word to a correction, large marks, marks made with a blunt <br />pencil, indistinct marks, and frequent use of the eraser to obliterate <br />marks hastily or incorrectly made are faults to be avoided. <br />2.80. In reading proof of wide tables, the proofreader should place the <br />correction as near as possible to the error. Th e transposition mark <br />should not be used in little-known words or in fi gures. It is better <br />to cancel the letters or fi gures and write them in the margin in the <br />order in which they are to appear. <br />2.81. To assure proper placement of footnotes, the proofreader and re- <br />viser must draw a ring around footnote references on the proofs, <br />then check off each corresponding footnote number. <br />2.82. Proofreaders must not make important changes in indentions or <br />tables without consulting the referee. <br />2.83. Th e marks of the copy preparer will be followed, as he or she is in a <br />position to know more about the peculiarities of a job than one who <br />reads but a small portion of it. <br />2.84. Any mark that will change the proof from the copy as prepared <br />must be circled in the margin. <br />2.85. All instructions on copy must be carried on proof by readers.
