The National Proofreading Day is observed annually on March 8 in the United States to encourage the use of error-free writing. Everyone is prone to typing errors, grammatical mistakes, and spelling errors, particularly when hastening the process.
During National Proofreading Day, we are able to deliberate, double-check, and proofread our work. Furthermore, National Proofreading Day provides a wonderful opportunity to express gratitude to an editor who diligently checks your work for errors, should you be fortunate to work with him or her.

National Proofreading Day activities
Proofread your entire composition.
As a way to celebrate National Proofreading Day, it is beneficial to develop the habit of thoroughly reviewing all written work. Before submitting a paper or sending an email, reread the entire document with fresh eyes and maybe even a red pen. You will feel wonderful submitting writing that is free from errors, and hopefully that will inspire you to develop a habit that lasts a lifetime.
Offer to proofread the work of a friend.
Take advantage of National Proofreading Day by offering to review an essay or presentation for a friend. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your appreciation of writing without errors, as well as a thoughtful way to show your concern for your friends and colleagues.
Review frequent spelling errors
Is there a particular word that frequently requires you to consult a dictionary? Make the most of National Proofreading Day by studying the accurate spelling of those terms; doing so will prevent you from ever requiring proofreading for those terms again. Determine which words are frequently misspelled and commit them to memory if you are unable to recall any. Obtain a list of such words and practice them to master the correct orthography.
